Words Too Strong

My words were too strong you said.

I think a part of me died.

I thought I could give you part of me…

I thought in you I could confide.



How can you expect me not to love?

I have so much love to express…

But you….you told me my words were frighting…

And now my words are repressed.



I don’t know what to say now.

My soul cannot search its limits.

I’m so sorry for falling in love with you.

But that is a horrible thing to admit.



My words were too strong you said.

I think I could have cried.

How can you ask me not to love you?

When I have so much love inside.



I didn’t ask to love you.

I didn’t want it to be this way.

But you entered my heart without asking.

And I cannot throw feelings away.



I feel so silenced now.

As if my voice cannot achieve,

All the missions it longs for,

All the grief inside of me.



You said my words were too strong…

And I don’t understand.

All I wanted to do was love you.

But you basically told me that I can’t.



My heart lies bleeding,

Wounded and scarred.

I thought I could love you,

But dreams lie so far.



My words are too strong you said,

And I could have died.

But it was your words that led my heart to bleed.

Your words were stronger then mine.

Yes, of all your poems that I have read today, ( I read almost the whole portfolio, they are all superb. ) I think this one is the most universal. It touched me too. I know how I have resisted love at times in my own life. How when I finally submit I find that I end up in much the same way.
"I don’t know what to say now.

Yes, it is a horrible thing to admit...
