a letter without a return address
because i don’t want to hear what you have to say

i’m not interested in an apology
a declaration of love
or any other revolting platitude that means nothing
there is no explanation
that could put right
everything that went wrong
i will be bitter
and i will never let it go

a letter without a return address
because i know you don’t care enough to say anything back

i will pour my heart out on paper
however repulsed i might be by the mess
i will hold nothing back
because it doesn’t matter what you think anymore

a letter without a return address
because i do not want you to think that i am waiting

i do not want you to know that i spend every day
stuck in the same spot
replaying the same moments in my head
and feeling worse each time
i do not want you to know that i would give anything
to go back and change everything
before it ever went wrong
i do not want you to know that i am waiting
even though there will be no reply

i am sending a letter without a return address
please try to find me anyway
