The Unseen Letters

She wrote a letter to her mother.
Some thoughts lacked.
Perhaps the bond was weak.
Perhaps the trust was cracked.

She wrote a letter to her father.
Some harsh words left unused.
Perhaps this was just her courtesy
When her plea for love was refused.

A wealth of family photographs to admire,
Not one happy memory to look back upon.
"Will I ever see them together again?"
She thought to herself one sleepless dawn.

Maybe the wall of trust that cracked,
& maybe the lack of love she had
Had reasons deeper than her knowledge.
But she gave the brightest smile she could,
& told everyone, "It is alright,
We all have some baggage."
