Letters Never Sent
Popular Poems Topics for You.
In a box beneath my window
lie the letters never sent,
full of words I meant to offer
and the silence that I lent.
I wrote you in the small of morning,
when the world had not yet woken,
when the only truth that mattered
was the love that went unspoken.
These letters wait like patient rivers
for the sea to come to them,
but the sea has long been distant
and the ink has lost its stem.
Still I write because I love you,
still I fold and seal and keep
these letters no one ever opens—
only I, in quiet sleep.
