unsung melody 

My voice aches from the song I sing for you

A melody of longing and rapture too.

My feelings of adoration are a tune of their own,

A heartfelt composition I feel down to the bone.

Like a chorus of fondness, soft and clear,

I paint the music with every silent tear. 

Under the silence of endearment, I remain unheard,

A lyric unrecited, a ballad deferred.

With each stave and note I voice

I feel our connection can no longer be a choice

So with the lord as my witness, I make my decree

This carol I chant is a desperate plea.

How I long to sing it and let the notes out

Though my heart aches, making not a sound

So my song stays unsung, with the refrain concealed

Yet my heart is torn, and I wish the notes to be revealed

The lyrics of affection, etched on my soul,

How I wish to belt them,  for my heart is an empty hole

Though my ballad stays silent, a vinyl on pause,

I will continue to love you through each line, stanza, and clause.
