It is not a word
that falls easily from my tongue
one so full of meaning
but also empty and hollow
it can be the key that frees your heart
or it can wrap your soul in chains
heal the wounds of lonliness
or make you bleed to death
it will shield you from all your pain
but quickly as the razor's edge
it will cut your heart in two
it calls forth tears of happiness
or drowns you in a sea of grief
it will blind you to the truth
or guide you through the dark
ethereal as the morning mist
yet it stops you in your tracks
it is everywhere and nowhere
and many of those that seek it out
will leave with empty hearts
and many of those that find it
will empty their hearts of it
so pray, tell me now
why must I say this word
when with my kiss
you have tasted
what has been silently waiting
on the tip of my tongue
all this time
and by now you should know
it is my love for you
unspoken.
