Unsaid.

I see you trapped,

Among insanity,

Among bad decisions.

Among regret.

 

I know that I can't help you,

But more than anything,

I know that I will be there.

I know that this is only the beginning.

 

There is long journey ahead,

And I will be there every step,

No matter what.

Because I love you.

 

I know this now.

After everything,

I realize life is too short,

To leave words unsaid.

 

I want to tell you I love you.

I want to tell you I'll never leave your side.

That I've broken down too many times to count,

Because you jeopardized your life.

 

I want you here.

I want to bust you out,

Of the imprisonment,

Of your own thoughts.

 

I want to fix you.

I want to make you realize,

How dear your life is,

To all of these people.

 

These unsaid words,

Burn on the tip of my tongue.

They sting in the air in front of me.

They burn along with the tequila.

 

I wish I could tell you now,

But it must wait.

 

...Again.
