The Unsent Letter

Like a stack of crumbled letters left behind,

The lingering images of you only Grow in my mind.

I'm lost alone in this sorrowful dark night,

Penning these lines in the dim light,

The feelings I wished I could convey to you.

Tossing and turning, in agony I can't reach you,

A letter penned with my soul poured out onto the page.

Will I ever be able to send it before the sun takes the night?

Your name I trace under the moonlight,

A message meant only for my eyes: A secret meant only for me.

My pitiful reflection in the moon's bright rays: My lonely shadow in the silver haze.

There's no changing me now, This feeling won't subside

In this sleepless, endless night,

Where only silence remains.

A feeling penned down in the dark,

An empty letter, A lost message, etched in the moon's glow.

Tossing, turning, full of fear, I still can't send

This letter that my heart poured into every line.

Will I find the strength to send it before the night gives way to day?

Your name I trace beneath the moon's soft light,

A secret meant only for my view, held so tight: Held in the dark, for my eyes alone.

My lonely, broken image in the pale moonlight.

Must fill my letter 'fore the darkness fades,

Must hold my feelings 'fore the morning breaks.

Though I'll drown in thoughts of you again..

Though I toss in pain, I cannot send it,

This letter written with my whole heart.

Will I get to send it before the sun steals my chance?

Your name I trace beneath the silver moon,

A hidden letter only for my view: A secret written only for me.

My own worn image in the moonlight's gaze.

I know you won't wait for me,

I know you don't even want me.

A letter sent to the night sky, one you'll never see.
