A handwritten letter

why do I even bother?

By Hannah UngarPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

a handwritten letter

Yes, maybe that will do.

So you finally must bear witness

To what wanted to be said, and later became overcome with scribbles

The thoughts brimming with emotion; the writing faltered

Small raised dots of once wet paper, when holding back tears became impossible

Ink hue shifting from black to blue, when the pen became weary and died

(as did i)

Maybe the paper smells like me a little...

Then for once could I get through to you?

Doubt it.

About the Creator

Hannah Ungar

A deep dark abiss thats full of stars and suns, blackholes and branches, moons that rule and planets that implode. I'm about as much of everything as I can be, here to strip myself bare and reveal all that lies under my layers for my sanity
