Unsent letters
I see letters addressed to you stacked on my shelf,
I know you are gone but the desire to post it to you is ever so strong.
But I guess I am wrong for thinking this way
As many have told me to just “move on”
And live my life according to societal standards of abandonment and grief.
But the unsent messages play on my mind,
Bind me to the idea that I must eradicate the memories of you
And destroy the unsent letters.
