A Written Letter

A written letter that speaks for me,
A written letter that bleeds my misery,
A written letter that carries my hidden smile,
A letter written in a world that was never defined…
In a world of mine,

Words that bled in me,
Have finally set me free,
And wrote themselves on this letter,
My only source of sympathy,

A written letter burned from the sides,
A written letter that has been designed,
For me to read its written words,
For me to decide,

Slithering between its letters,
The feelings sway from left to right,
Swinging from side to side,
Triggering tenderness,

Deeply absorbing its meanings,
Each letter and each word,
Drew a picture on my ceiling,
Creating a web of feelings,

I took a deep breath,
And inhaled the air surrounding me,
For the beauty of the words I have written
Were swimming in my eyes,
They were all I could see,

For you… it has been written,
For you, my torturing love,
For you my separated dove…
The dove that flew outside my open window,
Leaving me broken hearted…
Making hatred fall with my tears,
Making me cry for all these years…

To my dearest Dove:

You took my wings and flew away… Leaving my desperation towards flying 
say, “Good-Bye forever…” My power emerged from my helplessness…
