Unspoken Words — Summary

PriscillaRomantic

There are so many things I haven't said. So many things I want to tell you. So many things I want to do with you. So many urges that I wish to share with you. Only with you. You're the only one for me. yet.. I haven't told you all the things I wanted to say. I'm sorry.. that I've been hiding everything that means so much.. But I just wanted to say.. I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. Anything mean or rude I say, those are all lies. None of those are true. And they'll never become true. I have wanted to say "I'm sorry" to you so many times but never could. I truthfully don't know why. Why I can't open up to you easily. No matter how much I want to. This is only the beginning of what I want to say.. There are just too many things.. Too many unsaid words Too many secrets that haven't been told... And there will come a time where I can say everything I want to...

Priscilla's "Unspoken Words" is a confession from someone who loves another person deeply but struggles to say so. The speaker keeps returning to how much is left unsaid: things they want to tell, to do, to share, all with one person only. The repetition of "so many things" makes the feeling of pressure build, like a list that never ends.

The speaker admits that unkind or harsh words they've said were lies, which suggests they sometimes hide their feelings behind a rougher front. They want to apologize but can't, and they don't understand why opening up is so hard. That honest confusion is what makes the poem feel real.

The mood is tender, anxious, and a little sad, yet it ends with hope. The speaker promises that a time will come when everything can finally be said. The broken lines and trailing dots make the poem sound like someone trying, and struggling, to find their voice.

If I died right now. At this very moment. Would you care for me then?

Garbage

I said that I would leave just for a bit and I promised that I would be right back. You acted as though the world had ended and you didn't want me to leave. I liked it. It was cute.
