Never Say

 




Never Say


Never say that word again
The word I hate to hear
When you get bent all out of shape
And give in to your fear.

You know I’m here or you should know
By now through all of this
That I would take you in my arms
And soothe you with a kiss.

And even if I cannot be
With you when you need me
I’m still there in this heart of mine
I’d think by now you’d see.

That I would give the world to you
If only it were mine
And I would make you king of it
Beside me for all time.

This world is such a lonely place
And we all need each other
And I don’t mean to overwhelm
And I don’t mean to smother.

It’s just that in my heart of hearts
I feel too much to bear
And I know you feel too much, too
But you don’t want to share.

And how that scares me, how it hurts
To be shut out from you
When all your pain calls out my name
And I can’t comfort you.

I may not be a queen to you
And far from your ideal
But I am true and I love you
And all I am is real.

Can you not feel this hand of mine
Reaching in the dark?
That fire that blazed up long ago
Is down to just a spark.

The light has gone out of the world
Cause I can’t feel your love
And you won’t speak so I must seek
The face of God above.

On your behalf, more so on mine
Because I grieve for you
Pushing me out of your life
In all you say and do.

You said to just leave you alone
You said to go away
And all the sunshine left my skies
And became a cloudy day.

And you walked off and left me there
With nothing in my hand
And shouted as you walked away
Go find yourself a man!

Like you were not the man I love
Like you were not a man
Like you saw yourself as just a grain
In a universe of sand.

And you would never be much more
No matter what you did
No matter how tall you could grow
You’d be a little kid.

I wanted so to run after you
And show you, you were wrong
To ask you how I could sing again
When you're my only song.

But I just waited till you returned
And slipped back in the door
Knowing things were not the same
The way they were before.

You do not talk but you say so much
In your silence, there’s a din
Of alibis from a heart that cries
The word I can’t hear again.

I cannot stand the word Goodbye
It tears my soul in two
You twist it in me like a knife
And make me bleed with you.

And though I bleed, I do not leave
Or run from you for cover
Because I know deep in my soul
That we could heal each other.

  2. Wow! Such a romantically written and yet poignant expression of hurt love……… waiting and wanting and unable to attain and to give what the heart desires……. 💔
