I find it difficult in speaking <br />All I want to say to you <br />Knock the wall down and, <br />I gently let you into my <br />very heart <br />For 'soul' is too harsh a word <br />for what I plan to start <br /> <br />I almost see you in a city <br />Where there is a mountain <br />A golden city, painted in <br />all its rusty iron; yet still shines <br />as white as love can span <br /> <br />I look at you through an <br />empty bottle <br />So that your face is distorted <br />I cannot see your eyes no more <br />I cannot see your eyes no more <br />These words, see, <br />are not what I meant to say <br /> <br />I meant to say ten different things <br />all to mean the same. <br />Perhaps if you really love me <br />you'll know what they mean<br /><br />Annie Cordelia Adams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-meant-to-say-ten-different-things/
