Unsent Letters

It's not the way I treat people,

I don't want it to end too badly

The end could be a catastrophe

So I wrote you some letters

Those letters explain why things are the way they are,

They say the things that need to be said

Yet I choose to not send them

My efforts would be futile and pointless

If you wanted an explanation,

You would ask and not let it all go to waste

You don't care

Your self-defense mechanism gets in the way too

You can't take any criticism, good or bad

Everything that is said goes right through you

There's no point in explaining,

It'd just make you cry for a while and then you won't care

Those letters are a waste of ink and paper

I will never send them

You don't deserve them
