Words....words <br />Tripping ever so lightly <br />Off the tongue... <br />Sometimes, <br />They mean nothing. <br />They are just <br />Meaningless babble. <br /> <br />More often, <br />It is <br />The very things <br />You cannot say <br />That mean <br />Everything! ! <br /> <br />The things you think... <br />Held close <br />To your heart, <br />Are the things <br />Which choke <br />In your throat. <br /> <br />Those precious words, <br />Which cannot be said <br />To the one <br />Who needs <br />To hear them most <br />Are the words <br />I cannot say. <br /> <br />For the Double Dipper<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-cannot-say-2/
