My tongue is heavy
With words I have left unspoken
I want to tell you
But my heart thinks I would be mistaken
I don't know how long I'll be gone
So I want to say goodbye
But you would never let me leave
No matter how hard I tried
I almost began to tell you
But you warned me not to say
Because beyond tonight
No longer can I stay
I know you won't understand
My longing for this place
It is what is meant to be
So my destiny I will chase
Tonight I am leaving
For only God knows how long
But the distant place I am going
Is where I feel I belong
Sad, but the truth of the matter was spoken with dignity Good job :)
'My tongue is heavy With words I have left unspoken...' Very nicely written, Emma. This opening... Says how enriched one life is. I like this poem a lot.
A wonderful poem Emma! ! It's a little bit sad as Sara said above, however you remain your thoughts very deep.I love the last line when you say: 'But the distant place I am going Is where I feel I belong..'Great work! !
