Summary: And all the words I have not said

I hope that Time
Will ease that pain
Which comes whene’er
I think your name.

We’re not supposed
To end this way.
There’s still so much
I want to say.

My moth still burns
To find your flame.
To know I can’t
Brings searing pain.

And all the words
I have not said
Go ’round and ’round
Inside my head.

I know that I’ve
Myself to blame.
But it still hurts
To breathe your name.

I didn’t say them,
But they’re true.
And all this time,
I thought you knew.

astoundingly well-written and oh-so-sad.

favourite stanza:
And all the words
I have not said
Go 'round and 'round
Inside my head.
that really gets me...

It is sad, yes, but then given the subject matter there’s no real choice in it.
