Analysis of Words Unsaid



A stone unturned
Words left unsaid
Who will I tell?
Will you listen?
Will you even hear?
You're now, but just a memory

The sight of you made me smile
but now, the thought of you makes me cry
If only the hands of time I could turn,
If only you could return,
Then I would leave no stone unturned
No, I would leave no words unsaid.
