abandonment forgiveness loss memories resilience unspoken

Mailbox is a haunting, heartfelt collection that weaves together ten poems and a culminating short story, each a raw, unsent letter to someone or something left behind. Written in a voice that's both tender and unflinching, this debut by [Aldermann] captures the ache of absence and the weight of words never spoken. Drawing from the quiet moments of everyday life-creaky floorboards, rusted mailboxes, wilted roses-the collection explores the emotional scars of a young woman grappling with her mother's sudden departure, her father's long-ago death, and her own search for closure.

WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL by EnigmaExplorers

I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.

Becoming The Third by Loyiso491

Prologue The darkness of the past loomed over her like a shadow, a constant reminder of the pain and suffering she had endured. Her mother's tears, her father's abuse, the toxic cycle of violence that had defined her childhood - it was a legacy she had vowed to break, but one that continued to haunt her. As she stood in the silence of her room, the memories came flooding back. The sound of her mother's sobs, the smell of her father's anger, the feeling of being trapped in a world that seemed determined to consume her. She had thought that she had escaped, that she had found a way to break free from the chains of her past. But the truth was, she was still trapped. Trapped in a cycle of abuse, trapped in a relationship that was slowly draining the life from her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and saw a reflection that was both familiar and foreign. The bruises on her lip, the fear in her eyes - it was a sight she had grown accustomed to, but one that still filled her with a deep sadness. She knew that she deserved better, that she was worth more than the pain and suffering she had endured. But the question was, would she ever be able to find the strength to walk away, to leave the past behind and forge a new future? The answer, she knew, lay in the unknown. It was a journey she would have to take, one step at a time, one breath at a time. And as she stood there, frozen in the silence of her room, she knew that she would have to find the courage to take that first step, no matter how daunting it seemed.

Random Thoughts by TearsOfAmbrosia

An anthology of poems, letters, long texts, unsent emails, songs, conversations/dialogue, memories and other random stuff.

Dedications: @flaflare @jiniretttttttt (they're my friends :3) Go and read their writings too it's really good :D

Message Not delivered... by KaspyTheeGhost

CAUTION: I DID NOT PUT MATURE ON BUT CONTAINS SENSITIVE TOPICS OF ABUSE INCLUDING S/A... & probaly some swearing. There will be disturbing sh*t in here. This book is a poem book of my life pretty much. Its my thoughts and emotions spoken in a different suppossed to be more emotional and deeper way then just looking at what happened and crying about it. What happened can never be fixed but I won't let those people go by un-noticed and I hope karma sincerely kicks them in more then the ass someday. I don't wish pain upon no one but I do crave for them to just UNDERSTAND what they made me feel since they all walked away without a scrape, just a smirk on all their faces in the end. Or they're narcassistic. Theres also letters to people who I still think of to this day that will probably never read them but you guys still hold a special place in my heart. This book is letters and poetry to all; people of my past, present, future, and not only just SURVIVORS but WARRIORS too. You're never alone my loves... Welcome to : "Message Not Delivered"

"Things I Never Said Out Loud" by LIA12WREN

This is not pretty poetry. These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.

Letters the Moon Forgot to Send by missinkiejaneskie

Poems by ; missinkiejaneskie There are words I never got to say - words that lingered between the heart and the night sky, waiting for courage that never came. This collection is for those letters, for every emotion I sealed away in silence, for every moment that deserved a softer ending. Each poem in Letters the Moon Forgot to Send was written under the quiet company of the moon - my silent witness, my only listener. These pages carry the warmth of longing, the ache of things unsaid, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. They are confessions wrapped in starlight, small pieces of my heart that I once tried to hide. Some poems are about love that stayed, others about love that left. Some are about the versions of ourselves we outgrew, and the people we couldn't keep even when we tried. But above all, these poems are about remembering - that even when the world forgets, the soul remembers. I wrote these words not to be perfect, but to be honest. To remind anyone who feels lost that they are never truly alone. That somewhere, someone else is looking at the same moon, holding the same kind of ache, and still choosing to hope. So here they are - the letters the moon forgot to send. Maybe they were meant to find you instead.

Aphrodite by your_pal_mamie

"There's a blaze of light in every word, it doesn't matter which you heard: the holy or the broken, 'Hallelujah.'"- Leonard Cohen The poems in this series center on two characters: I, the speaker, and You, the speaker's subject. I is not a specific gender or orientation. I is meant to mold to the reader's idea of who they would be. We follow I in not only a love story, one where love blossoms and lingers until its destruction, but a tale of self-discovery, where, after a long and arduous quest for it, I finally finds happiness. Contents: Prologue- Definition 1- Sonnet 2- Astonishment 3- Hello 4- Knowledge 5- Infatuation 6- Notice 7- First 8- Idol 9- Consummation 10- Homecoming 11- Seasons 12- Satisfaction 13- Interlude 14- Change 15- Quest 16- Investigation 17- Faith 18- Wisdom 19- Enough 20- Stop 21- Words 22- Broken 23- Fury 24- Envy 25- Pleading 26- Memory 27- Nothing 28- Regeneration 29- Realization 30- Onward Afterword- Freedom WARNING: Mentions of domestic violence, rape. There's some hefty and kind of kinky sexual content in this, so be cautious if that makes you uncomfortable (9, 11, 12 especially). Infidelity and abuse are pertinent themes, and religious imagery is woven in (mostly pagan, Christian). Please remember your own limits as you read. Thanks!
