The Word Is Love Poem by keith brown

I was crying as you walked away
My tongue was trying
but
I just couldn’t say
All the words that you need to hear
To make you stay

My heart was breaking
breaking in two
I know that it feels the same way for you
but
I just couldn’t say
The words
To make you stay

I was lying to myself, you see
Telling myself I just had to be free
and
I just couldn’t say
The words
To make you stay

You said you loved me
You’d always be true
I never could say the same words to you

Cause when you’re around
I get tongue tied
Got to beg you to stay
Got to swallow my pride

Cause I am crying
All alone you see
Lying
I don’t want to be free
I just got find the words to make you stay
