The Letter She Never Sent

She wrote the letter,
each word heavy,
carved from her soul,
filled with hope and fear.

Promises whispered softly,
fears wrapped in silence,
love caught in between
the lines she never sent.

The paper trembled
beneath her shaking hands,
but she never mailed it.

She folded it tight,
tucked it away deep,
a message left unread,
a secret never told.

Her heart whispered,
“Maybe someday...”
but someday never came,
lost to endless waiting.

The letter sleeps still,
in shadows and dust,
a ghost of what could be,
words that live
only inside her heart.

Sometimes she rereads it,
feeling the ache
of love and loss,
the pain of silence,
and tears
for what never was.

She wonders
if he ever
thought of her,
if he knows
the words
she kept hidden.

The letter waits
in the quiet,
a bridge
between two hearts
that never met
in truth.

Maybe one day,
the words will fly,
carrying hope
beyond the shadows,
but for now,
they rest
in the silence
of a love
never sent.
