Unread Letters
If I could lend you words to speak
So I would know what it is you needed to say
If I could summarize the troubled thoughts
That you try to keep inside the vaults of your mind
If we took less time for work
And made more time to spend with one another
If we actually spent time on things and events
And people that mattered to us
If I could only see through the mask you wear
And read between the lines of the words you say
And notice the troubled gestures you hide from me
If persistent practices made us better humans
And less like an uncaring and heartless being
Maybe I could have seen more sunrises
And less rain spattered floors
Maybe I would have been happier
And less run down from life
Maybe I'd have noticed
What was going on
Maybe I would have heard
The words that were left unsaid
Maybe I would have see
The things that were left undone
And maybe then I'd have had better sleep
And less nights tossing and turning in a sweat-drenched bed
Maybe I'd have been here
To understand what you went through
And maybe I'd have been there
To stop you.
To tell you that you mattered.
