Sonnet with no words

What can I say that’s not already said
What thought of you could possibly unwind
From fragile spools? What subtle turning thread
Has not already journeyed through my mind?

There must be tender pages yet unturned
Where stinging wounds of sentiment remain
A frail and slender candle yet unburned
To melt another taper’s worth of pain

There's nothing left to write upon my page
Then from whose pen, you ask, do words depart
Performing such a drama on my stage
Where words of pure despair pour from the heart?

This act is inadvertent, unrehearsed
It’s strange how love can conjure up a verse

a sonnet is difficult to write, and even more so without words to use! beautifully done.
