Silent scream

Some things should not be left unsaid.

Sitting at the table
Staring into your deep blue eyes
I wonder if I am allowed to say it.

The words used to come naturally
But now I am not sure
If they are appropriate.

My throat hurts with the suppressed need
To tell you
But I dare not say the words.

Sadness creeps onto your face
And I wonder
Do you feel the same?

You shut the pain away
And giving me one last stare
You turn around and leave.

I close my eyes
Against the flood of tears
A silent scream

I love you
