Your Poetry Dot Com - You stole the words

You stole the words out of my lips,
Before I had the chance to speak,
Then carefully re-arranged the lines,
And shouted them all back at me,
Making them something different,
To what I really need to say,
I guess my thoughts will wait again,
I'll speak of them another day.

I tried so many times before,
To tell you all the words I feel,
But everytime I try to talk,
You stop them before they're even real,
I open up my mouth to speak,
But I'm betrayed and make no sound,
For once you've swept me off my feet,
I lose the words I found.

[But I know one day I'll have to express,
These words you need to hear,
I have to be strong and tell you this,
And try to hold back the fear,
Then I'll finally tell you all my thoughts,
In words, real and sincere
And maybe in the very end,
You would hold them close, and dear.]

So listen to me now...

And hear... Me...
