Words Unexpressed
Sometimes words go unexpressed,
Lying quietly inside a man's chest.
Feelings often choke his chest
Begging to be expressed.
Others think that he doesn't care,
But some words he cannot share.
Inside is where they will remain
Preventing cleansing that comes with rain.
Inwardly, he exalts with words unspoken
And makes promises that will never be broken.
Though his words go unexpressed
Silently, he wishes you his best.
