Unsent Letters
I’ve written a dozen letters
to my ex
all were from the heart
But the judge says, ‘no!’
… I am forbidden
so the letters will remain unsent
You see I tried to be loving
dashing them with my cologne
and doing smiley faces and hearts throughout
But she loves me no more
and has me restrained from
being her love once again
So the letters are smeared
with titanium tears
and the words are hard to read
But the prose comes from my heart
each line chagrined with chaos
tempting to recover what we once had
Dare I? Do I?
Place these letters in the outgoing mailbox
so her weary eyes can see our once true love…
is viable again.
