The Unsent Poem

Favorite song plays in the background

Every lyric reminding me of you

Conversations running through my head

So many things that I wish you knew

Everytime that you brought me happiness

I just never quite knew what to say

I was afraid to say the wrong thing

Thinking it would make you go away

Every night I did the same old thing

I wrote poem after poem on my bed

I love you written a hundred ways

Because of fear, they were never said The stack of poems stands tall
Not one ever making it to you
You simply walked away from me
And a love that you never knew

If only I would have taken a chance
I know that you would still be here
At night I still write you many poems
Only now the ink is mixed with tears
