"Love Unspoken"
Beauty in her soul, heart on her sleeve
Everytime I see her, I fall with the Autumn Leaves
I meant to say "I love you" but spoke a little late
I expectedyou to look into my eyes and see
...What words forgot to say
I'm falling out of love with you, I'm starting to drown
I tried to tell you as we watched the sun go down
I meant to end it here, but spoke a little late
I wanted you to look into my eyes and see
...What words forgot to say
My emotions are the oceans with there ever-changing waves
You are the strong mountain: your feeling for me never change
Meant to ask to stay this time, but I spoke a little late
I expected you to look into my eyes and see
...What words forgot to say
My waves of sorrow look back and wonder what would have been
Would we have grown old, would we have had kids?
I meant to marry you but spoke a little late
I expected you to look into my eyes and see
...What words forgot to say
I wake up from this sacred dream to see your pretty face
Last night, when our souls became one, it was you I embraced
I know I gotta tell you so I'm not gonna be late
Wake up, I want to look into your eyes and tell you
...The words I've always meant to say
my life have i watched being sucked down the drain. producing black fruit, filled with much pain. no hope for the future, no joy in the past, my only prayer is that death will come fast!
Wow that's beautiful. The last verse gave me chills.
The meter in it seems a little strange though, like there are more words than there need to be. That may not be a problem when you sing it though.
Very well done,

I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.

Thanks, I can sing all of it and it will flow except for this line:
"I meant to ask you if this time I could stay, but spoke a little late" any suggestions?

Umm... well you could trim a couple of words and see if that helps, like "Meant to ask if this time I could stay, but spoke a little late" will free you up two syllables. If that's not enough then maybe something like "Meant to ask to stay this time, but I spoke a little late". The second one fits the meter I'm hearing in my head better, but either could work I suppose. It's not a matter of rewriting the line, just trimming a little fat :)
Hope that helped a little,

Thanks for all of the compliments, I like the way that line fits. I'm trying to get music...any suggestions for a style that would best fit it?

i think it would make a great ballad if u kept it slow. Although i think it would work heavier and faster i think it would have more of an impact and pull the emotion out more if it was a slow..maybe acoustic..song.....but sure it will sound good woteva ya do so.....
Again, really good song!!
