i wrote you letters
that you'll never see
i've written letters
that you don't know existed
from reasons why i love you
to daily letters of how much i miss you
it's not much of a secret letter
since it was sent out to you
but i'm unsure
if you will ever see them
so i'll call them secret letters
because you are not aware of it
and maybe will never know

It’s okay

to feel the sun kissed heat
to feel the burnt sand on your feet
to get numb caused by a swim on the beach

It’s okay to just be you.
Without pretending to put the smile
You thought will do.

- Summers she never missed.
Inspired by my summer getaway, to a friend who apologized because she cried in front of me.

Lost love letters
Crammed into boxes
Forgotten first kisses
Left in the backseat
Eyes like oceans
Crushing
The beating drum
I so rely on
Souls disconnected
By distance
Wasteland of old photos
Fading with stolen memories

Your laugh still lingers in my mind
When i close my eyes i see that smile
I feel so horrible
I should’ve been there
You should be here.
I apologize if i neglected you
I was hurting; wounds not yet healed
My stomach turns knowing your not here
I took our friendship for granted
Knowing that you’ll always forgive me
Breaking you , now I’m broken
An unfinished  letter to my dear friend who has past .
How i wish i could go back in time
Every day in the afternoon, she writes a letter to the man she loves.

The ink and her tears flow together as she describes how much he meant to her.

She always uses the past in her letters, for she is unsure how she feels now. Can she still love with her heart and soul both dead and torn to shreds? It's hard to tell.

So she writes. About her days, her thoughts. There's happiness, sadness, love and so much pain in her words. She writes down all those emotions that don't make sense to her anymore.

A part of her wants to scream how much she admires him, how deeply she loves him, how his soul touched hers and how she feels so empty now that he's gone.

But she can't. So she writes, again and again, endlessly.

Maybe someday, a few years away from now, she will give him those letters. Maybe someday, the tornado between them will disappear. And maybe someday, she will learn to understand the words hidden in his silence.

Hi there Poet,

Your presence is always precious
here in my home,
Whether it’s lovesick confessions
or a need to not be alone.

These white walls and boxes
to which you can write any sins away,
or to just play dally with linguistic foxes,
to make quicker a boring day.

To scrawl out words black
to find redress and re-rhyme,
to release and not hold back
to find home-truths, to take your time.

I can take you at your word
be it dishevelled, battered or grey,
your weary voice can be heard
to make some weight fall away.

But now Dear Poet
it’s time to end this tune,
you’ve written a new one? Well show it,
the one hidden in your drafts since June.

You need to know how much you hurt me.

I just want to love and support you because I ******* care. How can you say one minute that you’re so happy and then the next you shut me out like I am nothing. And I do feel like I am nothing. I haven’t even told anyone about us but they all sense something is up and tell me that it isn’t right.

Even my dad, who has never once in his life made it known that he cares about the matters of my heart says that I deserve to be treated better. That he knows what he’s talking about.

I still just want to ******* wake up and hold you and I am so ******* stupid for everything when you just don’t give a **** about me.

How can it be so easy for you to stop talking to me? How can it be better to be alone all night long? How are you unbelievably content in aloneness.  It hurts to realize that maybe I do deserve better. It hurts to have this good thing ripped away from me. That I knew being vulnerable would only end in heartbreak and I did it anyway. Look at us now, is this really how it ends?

It hurts so badly to be waiting here, hoping you’ll come back to me.  Hoping to see you happily walk through some door somewhere. Stupidly hoping to see your beautiful brown eyes light up again when they look at me.

and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts.
