Words Fail Me

By SilentStalker


So much I wanted to tell you...
Just how much I cared
That in a heartbeat if I could
You know I would be there.

That you're much too new to this world
To know this kind of pain
And even though you probably know
I'd want to say it plain

But words fail me...
Every time I try to reach out one more time

Words fail me...
When I realize I may be out of line.

Words fail me...
And I cry again before I go to bed.

And I could have made things easier
If I just stopped and said.......



I love you.



But words fail me.

    read alot of your works, this is really excellent

  • A former member wrote: Really enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing! This is amazing!

  • A former member wrote: Excellent. It was shadowed and when I read it, I almost felt like I was invading somebody's private secrets. Is the man speaking to his daughter (or son, but I took it as if he was a man speaking to his daughter)? If so, I can tell that he really did love her. I was thinking she must have died or something, and that as the man looks back, he regrets all the times he didn't show his affection. Very well-written. Thanks for sharing!:) (Also, I absolutely loved how when you take your mouse of the words, "But words fail me." comes over "I love you." Clever.)
