i wrote your name a hundred times
in letters folded between rhymes
never stamped, never addressed
just kept them hidden in my chest
words i couldn’t let you hear
too raw, too late, too full of fear
so i let ink bleed in quiet nights
on pages trembling under lights
love letters never sent
buried deep where silence went
every line’s a part of me
you’ll never read, you’ll never see
i tried to say “i miss you still”
but pens don’t shake the way hearts will
the paper knows what i can’t speak
how strong love feels when you feel weak
i seal them shut, no need for mail
these truths ain't meant to tip the scale
just therapy inside a drawer
where i pretend we were something more
love letters never sent
buried deep where silence went
every line’s a part of me
you’ll never read, you’ll never see
if i ever see you down the line
i’ll smile and say that i’m just fine
but in my bag, a folded truth
a letter inked in broken youth
