Mute

My throat is dry,
My lips are heavy;
Does anyone understand me?
My thoughts a blur,
I did not even see you standing there.

I tried to speak,
It is not fair;
I am losing air.
Open your mouth,
Let the words flow out;
It is easier said then done,
I wish so bad to shout!

The pressure is too much,
And you are starting to stare;
Why can't I tell you,
How much I care?
You turned and walked away,
You are gone;
And you will never know,
How you stole my heart on that pitiful day.
