The Unspoken Love

In the shadows of my heart, a whisper of regret,

For words left unspoken, a love unexpressed,

In the silence of my soul, a longing unmet,

A tale of desire, hidden deep in my chest.

The moments passed by, like grains of sand,

Regret now a companion, walking hand in hand,

If only I had voiced the love I hold so dear,

Perhaps the path we walked would be clear.

Remorse now lingers, a bittersweet song,

Of chances missed, of feelings gone wrong,

Yet in this sorrow, a lesson I find,

To speak my truth, to not leave love behind.

So let this poem be a vow, a pledge,

To share my heart's desires, not hedge,

For in the depths of remorse, a seed is sown,

To cherish love, to make it known.
