~ sometimes the words come but never make the page ~

Unwritten

Tender words of affection,
filled with an energy like none other,
should float, even sail through the air
effortlessly, kissing each soft, fluffy cloud
as they make their way
to your beautiful soul.

Instead,
they are heavily weighted
and they plummet to the pages below,
smudging in the puddle of diluted ink
that never seems to fully dry.
Here gather the crumpled pages of my heart.

It is sad to have feelings of love that cannot reach the one who remains bright in your heart. The feelings seem lost and useless but you cannot ever erase them. They belong just to that person until you meet them again. You hope, if not in this dimension...maybe in another. The feelings cannot just mean nothing when they are felt so strongly in your heart. Hard to express them

I know the feeling. Sometimes there just are no words that can come close to describing the emotions. Very sharply expressed.
