Letters You Never Sent - Mikhail Bennett
I check the mailbox every day
Though the years have passed me by
Bills and papers, strangers' names
But never yours inside
The porch still creaks the way it did
The night you drove away
I told myself you'd write me soon
There'd be something left to say
Oh, the letters you never sent
A lot of anger, but
Every word you never wrote
Still asks me why
Did pride hold back your hand?
Did anger build that wall?
Or did you simply learn to live
Without me at all?
I kept your room the way it was
Your jacket by the chair
Like ink might find its courage
If love was waiting there
I wrote you fast a hundred times
Then stopped to save my pride
Now silence fills the empty space
Where answers should reside
For the letters you never sent
Still echo in this home
Every page that never came
Says I'm alone
Was there ever one you started?
Did you tear it up instead?
Are there words you never made
Still burning in your head?
I don't need apologies
I just needed to know
You remember
All the letters you never sent
Will follow me to the end
Not because of what they say
But because they never did
And if someday you think of me
When the nights grow long
Just know this house still waits for you
Even if the letters never come
