Letters never sent

These letters never sent
words I never wrote
the things I never said
conversations we never spoke

the choices that we never took
the walls that blocked our way
all end up the same
a dead end, bricked up alleyway

The songs I never sung
the verses never shared
the hurt clung on and on
like a wolf with its teeth bared

The words I wanted to share
were written right here in this chair
in this book, on a page hidden from you
out of sight, out of view
they screamed in bold writing
I WANT YOU
the shouted in scrawled ink
I NEED YOU
they swam in tears spent
I LOVE YOU
the words faded into the page
blended into a mess of names
turned into a play on words
a poem twisted out of the wreckage of old flames
you said I wasn't romantic
I just never showed it
never wanted you to laugh at the words I wrote
so I held them in my notebook

As the memory seeps onto my page in waves of tears
I flood a new one with ways to fight my fears
no longer fretting over letters I never sent
never once forgetting the words you said I never wrote
but now creating a life much better spent
with people that want more than a token note

Thanks For reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
