I want to say that I love you
but those words don't come out the same anymore
they seem to faulter on my tongue and find some uneasy sense of fidget in my breath
I want to say I need you right now
but the words come in such a vain hypocrisy of my time
they choke themselves back into my throat because I can't be around to need
I want to say I want you
but the words seem stained and uncontrollably tainted by other endeavors
they curl up into the shadows of my heart and cover themselves back in the dust

But oh how such words are so persistent
how they tantalize me and itch at my wounds
that in my time alone, in my darkest times alone
I hear them so softly begging my heart, my lips, to speak
to utter such things that my soul cries out in selfish desire!

....and they only come out in whispers
that only my ears hear
and the only time they pick up in multitude and volume
is when you are gone
and the room is empty enough to echo
beautiful sorrow

I find your words captivating. They rub off painfully delicate memories and emotions for me right now, but are expressed beautifully :thumbsup:
