Silent

Words spill out of my thoughts, and stand awkwardly in the dark alleys of my mind.
Yet they do not fulfill a fraction of what I need to to say.
I hear the desolation in your voice, the pain, that I have inflicted.
I hear you mourn the dream that we both had and cherished.

In my mind, m kneeling beside you begging you to forgive.
In my mind, m crying your tears asking you to stop.
In my mind, m trying to fill this void growing between us.
In my mind, m rocking your aching heart against my bosom.

In my mind I form the words to tell you I am sorry.
But words are awkward, inadequate, words are failing me tonight.
