A Letter I Wont Be Sending

A letter I won’t be sending
Will tell the truth about you
Sort through your lies
Show the real you
A letter I won’t be sending
Will tell of tearful nights
Bringing them out of the darkness
Into the light
Uncover all the bruises
You left on both body and soul
Showing you the pain
My hearts toll
A letter I won’t be sending
Will tell you how I feel
Speak the words I’d never spoken
Show feelings that are real
A letter I won’t be sending
Will be missing you
Telling you good bye
Telling how disappointed 
I am in you

I think even if you write the letter and don't send it. You are getting the feelings on paper. Poetry is another way to express your feelings. Nicely done. Thanks for the comment. love phyl

Sometimes writing the letter helps even if you don't send it. Good to let these emotions out.
