Her Memory

There are words

Stuck in his throat

That he can’t get out

Feelings he wants to express

But fears he can’t

He thinks it’s too late

Too much time has gone by

And the damage is done

He can’t take back

What he did

And what he should've said

Her memory

Lingers in him

And he knows

Time is not on his side

One day

She’ll marry again

One day

Her heart will belong to someone else

And he’ll have to live with that

Because he never

Spoke up
