To Say “I Love You” These painful words I could not speak For through love's stinging darts I knelt And left a kiss upon her cheek No fond goodbye my lips could eek From out this heart where sorrow felt These painful words I could not speak Love’s flaming wick was growing weak But crystal tears it finally melt And left a kiss upon her cheek My secret passion would not leak From tongue that numbed with lover’s welt These painful words I could not speak And she, such beauty, swift and sleek To leave the one whose fate was dealt And left a kiss upon her cheek How cruel is life to take the weak For death had purged a heart where dwelt These painful words I could not speak And left a kiss upon her cheek Elizabeth Santos |

So many images go through my mind with this heart-wringer. But you write sadness so well...so very well. |
