Description
Words
Words have power
Never doubt it
If I don't say
What I'm feeling
If I don't tell you
What's in my heart
I can take it all back
And tell myself
It isn't true
And no harm done
But if I speak
If I tell you
What you mean to me
Those words have power
And the feeling
Is amplified
As it goes out to you
And comes back to me
Acknowledged
As long as
It isn't possible
For my words
To make a difference
Since we can't be together
Regardless of those words
I will keep them to myself
And not give the truth
Any more power
Than it already has
There is no point
In reinforcing an idea
That cannot grow
So I will
Keep my silence
And never tell you
What I'm quite sure
You already know
..........
Watching a friend struggle ... all I can do is watch and bear witness.

The first two verses bring to mind the power of speaking vows. Unfortunately two people stating vows (formal or informal) don't always hold those words in equally high esteem. When my wife and I got married, she had our vows recorded. They meant so much to her but at the time I was unaware of what vows were all about and I was 29 ...to me they were just traditional words and they weren't spoken from the heart. Fortunately for me, I grew into those vows and they stuck! But I could have been the partner who never "got it". The second two verses seem to bring a longed for relationship to an unhappy impasse. I suspect that most of us who have been around for awhile have experienced the same thing in one form or another. You've written powerful words that make me sit here and mentally review the important relationships in my life. And that's good. Thanks for that my friend.

Nice!! and succint, It seems nowdays that too many forget the importance of what's spoken. Once uttered, words can never be taken back. I'm not sure why exactly I stopped on this, but I'm really glad that I did. Thank you for sharing this, it makes those who read it pause and think.

No wonder the word is compared to a sword! Powerful and sad.

This is incredibly evocative, as if you started out by whispering (or praying) "Sing in me, O Muse" or some modern equivalent to it. At any rate, this is powerful stuff...wonderfully elegant and straightforward at the same time. The closing lines of this are a superb closer to this piece. As always, it's spot-on, dignified, and is delivered without bells and whistles, but still...we're held rapt, and that feeling lingers long after the actual reading of the poem is done. Great work.
