When love dies...
 Unspoken Vow Open in new Window. (E)
When love dies...
#678712 by sybil Author IconMail Icon

The unspoken vow;
It is the heart of me.
It is my soul;
the prayer I prayed.
Born of a need;
born of a spirit,
to sustain an aching heart
that had nowhere else to go.
I cannot excuse its presence,
nor will I apologize
for its existence.

Call it a wall, built to contain me;
call it what you wish.
Blame another, blame yourself.
Ignore it, deny it;
it is something within me
that you cannot own;
beyond your control or mine;
my unspoken vow.
I can't love you, now.
