The weight of unsent letters


Bunch of letters litter in my drawer
Each hold a message I've long to say
Maybe a bit too late to send, it no longer matter now
I've watched you ruin your life, a pain I'll live to bear

You were only six, when you lost it all
I felt holding back my words was loving you
Little did I know, the consequences was more than I assumed
Now the weight of my unsent letters pierce my heart

Created using Gemini AI

Each night I read every piece of these letters
Written since the first night you crawled out of the window
To play a game we both disagreed, a game that exposed you to the wild
But none of these letters ever left, none was ever sent

Now I'm left with wishes, if the hands of the clock can be moved backward
I'd take it back to when you were 6 once again
And I'll send all the unsent letters hanging on the web
Just maybe you'd had been the daughter I'll be proud of.

Now the weight of my unsent letters, is killing me

The imagery of those unsent letters collecting dust while holding such deep emotion is powerful. It's painful how silence, meant to protect, can sometimes do the opposite.It’s a reminder that some words need to be said before it's too late. Beautifully expressed, truly moving piece.

Thank You.
Indeed sometimes what we hope to protect might affect one
