Why won't you speak, <br />From the heart, <br />Instead of, <br />Ripping mine apart? <br />There is this one word I vowed, <br />To never say, <br />Unless I meant it, <br />Each and everyday. <br />And I think I might just, <br />Use that word on you, <br />But only if you tell me, <br />The same word too. <br />I know it's a lot to ask, <br />But that word is hard to say, <br />And that word will change our lives, <br />Each and everyday. <br />If there's one last thing to say, <br />Then it's all true, <br />Every last word, <br />I say to you.<br /><br />Katherine Bryce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-word-18/
