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.
