Words I Cannot Say

Edward Yin
Jackie Doctor
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oxford Emory chapter.

Blue, deep sapphire, ocean bound,

I was swept by currents in your eyes. 

 

The shimmer and luster of yours 

Remind me of yellow-dyed sunset. 

 

Maybe that was why I crossed the line.

Shipwrecked, I veered into your life. 

 

Would you say I’m cruel for wanting,

Missing, needing when I said goodbye. 

 

I’m sorry I cannot hold your hand.

Bridges burned, I cannot turn back. 

 

Only in dreams I speak my mind. 

Would you listen to my tongue untie?

Oxford Emory '21

I'm a Biology major with a prospective minor in Sociology. I like to sing, draw, and read in my spare time. If you have a passion for animals and a sweet tooth for Ariana Grande, I would love to have a chat with you over some Starbucks! Thank u, next.
