letters unsent

[tranquil thicket]

a letter in my hand
Your name decorates the edges
Etched into the paper to brand
This letter which belongs to you
This letter which will never reach you

Years go by
And I miss you more than ever
When will I stop wishing ? Never.
How long will I miss you? Forever.
For you are the light of my eye

The light that shines through the dark times
And invades the void that is my mind
Turning the black into pure white
Filling the silence with symphonies

You tore down my walls
Invaded my heart's halls
You alone were enough for my heart
Yet I found myself locked out of yours
Your heart which never belonged to me
Is now farther away from me

So I find myself once again
Writing letters to send to your heart
Praying that we would no longer be apart
Praying that you would stop the pain
Yet my heart cowers in fear
So the letters sit alone, forgotten in a drawer
Its paper tainted by the writer's tear

I like this style of writing. It’s speaks truth and I can feel your pleading. I think you could do great with taking the heart & continue its comparison to an enclosed room.
What did feeling locked out do to you in an empty room? Alone within a box, a useless key that won’t open. You could make it a part 2 ☺️🫧

Beautiful as always, Kenzy! I love the line: "Years go by and I miss you more than ever. When will I stop wishing? Never. How long will I miss you? Forever." It’s heartfelt and relatable, but I must remind you that while it may seem impossible to get over them, you will get through it.

An amazing piece, you can really tell the emotion put behind it. I like how sorta painted a mindful picture at the end as well.

[random verge]

damn this poem really shows how much it hurts to love someone who doesn't love u back

It talks abt feelings like "invades my heart's halls" and "its paper tainted by the writer's tear," which make u feel close to the emotion

and i like how the poem keeps saying "u alone were enough for my heart," showing how deep the feelings are

overall i think it captures the sad feeling of loving someone who doesn't feel the same way

[tranquil thicket]

hm that is a really interesting idea! might do a part 2 actually just depends on the time i have, thank you for the suggestion and sweet words!

[tranquil thicket]

awww thanks a lot! haha yeah its also one of my own favourites to write, i haven't personally fallen in love actually but i wrote this inspired by the feeling of wanting something while it is out of reach

be it a person or an object, a lover or a friend

we always want for something out of reach and miss what we have never once owned

[tranquil thicket]

thank you! i am happy that you like it!
