Elegy In Verse

Unspoken Woes

Unspoken Woes

Nobody ever knows,
The pain that silently grows,
Hidden beneath a smiling face,
In the depths of a lonely space.

Because they don't ever see,
The shattered fragments within me,
The weight of sorrow I bear,
In the darkness of despair.

Most of the night I hardly sleep,
Haunted by memories that creep,
Whispering your name, a ghostly sound,
In the silence, it's you I've found.

Because I think of you whenever I'm alone,
Your presence etched into every bone,
Yet you're far beyond my reach,
Lost in a love I couldn't breach.

In my dreams, I've barely talked to you,
Conversations left incomplete, too few,
Words unspoken, left in the abyss,
Aching for closure, longing for a kiss.

But through these letters, I'll find release,
Pouring out emotions, seeking peace,
Each word a balm to heal the ache,
As ink spills on paper, my heart breaks.

For these letters hold my deepest pain,
Emotions written, unable to explain,
Yet with each stroke, I find solace anew,
Releasing heartaches, bidding them adieu.

So here's a letter, penned with love and care,
To the heartaches I can no longer bear,
May these words find their way to your soul,
And in their healing embrace, make me whole.
