Letters I'll Never Send

Dear Alone

fervent emotions I keep locked away

love and fears sequestered night and day

I fear of being too much and also nothing at all

if I take this leap, you will watch me fall

soft hands and open arms

more to me, they are sounded alarms

I cannot trust what I refuse to feel

wounds from others that never healed

I seek the patience I refuse to give

instead anger and solitude are where I live

my heart is heavy, it holds too much

only in secret do I crave your touch

my inner most thoughts I do keep hidden

to speak them into existence is strictly forbidden

I long for you to need me, like a breathe of fresh air

but reveal these desires, i would not dare

I feel myself sinking the more that I hold

unfortunately, some things are better left untold

perhaps one day you may know my soul

until then, on tiptoes and secrets I stroll
