I have written the words I can't say
and as I set them alight
I watched them take flight
on flaming dragons' wings
the last vestige of dreams
too dangerous to dream
I know the power of words- those words,
that haunt me every day
they can never be spoken
or lives will be broken
it's better to burn them away
to send them far away
I have so many words I can't say
I hear them each night
as I painfully fight
those most insidious of things:
I fight against my dreams
too dangerous to dream
I know the meaning of words- those words,
and every night I pray
that they remain unspoken
better my heart be broken
better to suffer alone than say
those words I cannot say
I hate those words I can't say
they fill me with spite
they black out the light
of those most precious dreams
too beautiful to dream
too wonderful to dream
I would rather never know those words- those words!
There is no price I would not pay
to keep them unspoken
to excise this emotion
to forget how I wish I could say
those words I must not say
