So Many Times Poem by William F Glennon

So many times, I've tried to say I love you.
So many times the words got in the way.

Word's unspoken hidden behind words said.
Feeling like I'm holding on by a thread.

I want to speak and reach out.
To let you know I cannot do without.

My silence has been a mystery.
My unspoken words are now history.

Trapped in a room with locked doors and no keys.
What could have been now is holding me hostage.

This is all of what my heart sees.
