Love Needs No Words (Silence Is Safer)

Choking over this word,
Stumbling on its meaning;
Thumbing, reviewing, analyzing –
__________Is it possible to fathom?

They tell me I should say it,
But they don’t understand,
They don’t understand what it means to me—
__________Could you grasp this word?

I’m a reluctant one by nature,
Resisting every expression of that word,
That beautifully tragic word –
__________Is it such a cliché to want to feel it?

I can’t feel anything else anymore;
I want to whisper it when you’re near,
But you always seem to kiss it away –
__________Is it intentional, or are you so oblivious?
