A Letter Never Sent
Words were said that were not meant
at once I felt regret,
Not once had my voice been raised
since that first day we met.
Words can sound so loud If written
If capped words we then use,
I then feel them in an instant
a type of self abuse.
You must know deep in your heart
the words were unlike me,
Always my words stayed so soft
when my love was with me.
I have this letter in my heart
I was about to send,
Because of written words of anger
you're heart may never mend.
