The Letters I Never Sent

The letters that I never sent
Are the words that were never spent
The feelings that I couldn't share
And the secrets that I couldn't bear

They are the unsaid, the undone
The stories that were never spun
The words that remained in my heart
And the emotions that tore me apart

The letters that I never sent
Were written in moments of lament
When my heart was heavy with pain
And my mind was a stormy terrain

They were the letters of apology
For the wrongs that I couldn't set free
For the moments that slipped away
And the chances that I didn't take

They were the letters of love
For the ones that I couldn't be with enough
For the moments that we couldn't share
And the love that was always there

They were the letters of regret
For the moments that I couldn't forget
For the words that I wished I had said
And the moments that I wished I had stayed

The letters that I never sent
Were written in moments of descent
When my world was falling apart
And I couldn't find a way to restart

They were the letters of goodbye
For the ones that I had to leave behind
For the moments that we couldn't make last
And the memories that we couldn't grasp

They were the letters of gratitude
For the moments of love and fortitude
For the people who touched my life
And the moments that made it all worthwhile

The letters that I never sent
Are the words that I couldn't vent
But they remain a part of me
And the memories that will always be

For in those letters, I found release
And a way to find some inner peace
So even though they were never sent
They remain a part of my heart's content.

If I Were Your Love

If I were your love,
I would have loved you like the ocean loves the sand,
With gentle waves and soothing breeze,
I would have held you close and never let you go.

But now, I am shattered and forlorn,
Like a broken glass lying on the ground,
My heart feels like it's been ripped apart,
And I don't know how to mend it back.

If I were your love,
I would have been your sunshine on a cloudy day,
A light that brightens up your world,
And makes you forget about your worries.

But now, I am just a memory,
A distant thought that crosses your mind,
And I wonder if you ever think of me,
Or if I am just a sand that slipped through your hand.

If I were your love,
I would have been your safe haven,
A place where you can always find solace,
And a shoulder to lean on when you're tired.

But now, I am lost in the abyss,
Wondering if you ever cared,
Or if I was just a game to play,
A puzzle to solve and then discard.

If I were your love,
I would have loved you unconditionally,
With every fiber of my being,
And never let anything come between us.

But now, I am left with a broken heart,
A heart that's shattered into a million pieces,
And I don't know how to pick them up,
And put them back together again.

Goodbye

I stand here alone, gazing up at the moon,
Wondering where you are, and if you'll be back soon.
But the silence around me is empty and still,
Aching with the absence of your laughter and will.

I remember the times we shared, the love that we knew,
The dreams we once had, and the plans we'd pursue.
But now, all that's left is a music box's melody,
Haunting me with memories of what used to be.

I wish I could have seen your pain, your sorrow and strife,
To hold you close, and protect you from the darkness of life.
But now you're gone, and my heart is heavy with regret,
Wishing that somehow, I could have helped you forget.

As I stand here, watching the stars dance in the sky,
I feel a part of me missing, and I cannot deny,
The emptiness that consumes me, like a flame in the night,
Reminding me of the void left by your tragic flight.

But even in the midst of this sorrow and pain,
I know that your spirit will forever remain,
In the memories we shared, and the love that we gave,
A tribute to the person that we couldn't save.

So goodbye, my dear friend, I'll cherish the time we had,
And though you're gone, your memory will never fade.
I'll keep your light alive, and carry you in my heart,
Until we meet again, and nevermore be apart.

Sticky Notes

Sticky notes, adhesive and bright,
Myriad colors in my sight,
In my room, they cover the walls,
Reminders of tasks, big and small.

They seem so simple, but to me,
They represent my antithesis,
A symbol of all I can't be,
Of goals unmet and missed chances.

My weary eyes scan each square,
A daily reminder of my affairs,
The notes mock me with their stare,
As if saying, "why aren't you there?"

I try to ignore them, to push away,
But they cling to me like the day,
My mind races, thoughts astray,
Caught up in the web they lay.

I wish I could toss them out,
Let go of this nagging doubt,
But they remain, without a doubt,
A constant reminder, a persistent shout.

Sticky notes, they seem so small,
But they hold me in their thrall,
A reminder of my every flaw,
A constant burden, a heavy maul.

I long for freedom, to break free,
From these notes and their decree,
To find a way to simply be,
Without the weight of my history.

But until then, I'll continue to write,
To add to my collection, day and night,
Sticky notes, adhesive and bright,
A constant reminder of my plight.

I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away,
Like a feather in the wind.
I didn't hold on tight enough,
And now it's gone again.

I loved him with a passion,
That burned deep within my soul.
But I couldn't make him stay,
And now I'm all alone.

I thought that love would conquer all,
And we'd be together forevermore.
But he had other plans in mind,
And I was left to pick up the pieces on the floor.

I cried myself to sleep each night,
Wishing he would come back to me.
But it was just a hopeless dream,
And now I know it was never meant to be.

I let it slip away,
And now I can't go back.
The memories haunt me every day,
And my heart is under attack.

I tried to move on with my life,
And find someone new to love.
But nobody can compare to him,
And he's the only one I'm thinking of.

I let it slip away,
And now I'm paying the price.
My heart is shattered into pieces,
And I'm left with this endless strife.

I wish I could turn back time,
And hold onto him so tight.
But now all I have is regret,
And a heart that's lost its light.

So here I am, alone and broken,
With nothing left to do.
I let it slip away from me,
And now I'm feeling so blue.

The Road To Erasing Negatives

Lust, greed, anger, envy, prejudice,
Malice, fear – all negatives we possess,
Traits we must conquer to be our best,
But how do we start? What's the first step?

Is it to meditate or to reflect?
To journal our thoughts and introspect?
Is it to seek therapy or to connect,
With loved ones, to learn to accept?

The journey's not easy, that we know,
But we must take the first steps to grow,
To acknowledge our flaws, to let go,
Of the negatives that hold us low.

It starts with awareness, a conscious mind,
To recognize when we're unkind,
To ourselves or others, to unwind,
And seek forgiveness, to be refined.

The journey's long, with ups and downs,
But with commitment, progress abounds,
We learn to love and break down,
The walls that keep us safe, but bound.

So, let's take the practical steps we need,
To erase the negatives, to succeed,
With patience, grace, and humility,
We'll find the peace and harmony we seek.
