Letters For You

I wrote to you

A letter every day

Letters to tell you

Just how I feel

Written in neat, curved

Writing I told you

Just how sweet

I thought you were

How you made my heart

Glow

Letters in which I wrote

With various colours of ink

Pouring out my whole being

To you

I wrote to you

A letter every day.

I wrote you letters in which

I told you how you made me

Bloom.

Eventually

I found myself

Pressing harder on

The paper

Then I had before.

Creating tears in them

Similar in shape

And size

As the ones

Inside of me.

I began to send

Letters

With creases

And bumps

And stains

Splattered with tears

Pouring

From my eyes

As I wrote

The anger

Bubbling within me.

My last letter

Addressed to you

Contained

No words

But was blank.

Because

I had none that

Could reach

As far

And deep

Into the cracks

Of my

Heart

To describe

Just

What you

Had left

Of me.

A draft I decided to finish 

Because it took a totally 

Different turn than originally

 Intended.
