Truth

Words came out

But my heart didn’t speak

It was shut away

And it was far too weak

To make its way out

To make itself heard

So all was impaired

And all was blurred

The words I told you

Once, twice before

I wish I could take back

Or tell you to ignore

It’s not what I meant

It’s not what had to be said

I listened to the wrong thing

I followed my head

Now I hope I’m not too late

To give my heart a chance

To accept the hand you reached out

When you offered to dance

Tonight I’ll tell you the truth

I hope you are still there

Tonight I'll tell you the truth

I hope that you still care

Completely amazing, Lorame. Such a gift you have for words of rhyme. A beautiful poem, filled with wonderful thoughts of hope and love and chance. Poems which speak in pleasant streams of truth always have such a positive reaction with me. I can feel each word as if I had written them myself. I understand this piece, love it. It was a quiet, sincere apology and yet you showed that you have never really stopped caring for the person, you were just too hurt to see your heart clearly at the time. Gorgeous words of hope!

There are plenty of times when the situations we are in makes us lose all control of our hearts and our minds. They seem to function totally independent of each other and the results can hurt. Your poem reflects that wonderfully. Good Job!
