I'm Writing You A Letter

by Shayla R Cakes

I'm writing you a letter
Which you may, or may not, see
I thought that I'd be better
If I tried to mend part of you and me.

I'm completely lost without you
And I don't know where to turn
And every time I turn around
The memories begin to burn.

I'm writing you a letter
Of pondering what to do
For I don't know how I'll ever
Get through my life without you

I'll be gone before you know
And without you I'll live to regret
The words that have been said and those left silent
And the pain I haven't felt yet.

I'm writing you a letter
And I may just keep it to myself.
For I'm not sure if this is a book
That's best kept on the shelf

But I'm writing you this letter
In hopes we can start anew
Hoping you can be a friend to me.
And I a friend to you.

write the letter, put your heart into it and then burn it..anyone who would even make you go to such a level isn't worth the words you've written. that's just my opinion tho coming from the way i read into this poem...it could mean something entirely different than what i got out of it. either way, good poem..smooth flow.

right now you labeled my emotions so well with your words

Interesting piece. Well expressed. Nicely reminds me of one part of the therapy I was taught while in rehab for my drug problem, that being it's good to write such letters, even if we never give them to the person intended, if only for our own well being/self therapy.
