The Words I Couldn't Say to You

Words are quite a powerful thing, right? They are just words until we dress them up with emotion, flavor, life, passion, meaning. We give the words we speak meaning. These are the words I couldn’t say to you. These are the words I thought about saying to you. These are the words I wrote and erased, wrote and erased. These are the words I couldn’t turn into lyrics for once, but rather turned them into part pain, part poetry. painful, positive, powerful, poetry. These are the words I finally told you, and by your response, which was no response, for years on end, is why I wrote this book. Here are the words I couldn’t say to you, then finally told you, now I’m using the love I had for you for all those years and using it to love myself. Thank you. the woman who had so many things to say but you never gave her the time of day to say it.
