Returned love letters

when love won't come back!

RETURNED LOVE LETTERS!

once I retracted reframed textures 

now your skin has no softness forgive me,

my blindness, I chase dejavue, dejavue, 

silk scarves, blowing in the good-bye  winds 

of lostness. A hand full of returned letters

I expose my lips to your cautions 

pushing pass loveless, swallowing poison

I have no use of all the love letters that

I keep writting, you send them back to me 

un-opened

(return to sender she's invisible )

Still I keep them, holding on to some sort of retrabution

trying to preserve them, closely and against my heart

Thinking, maybe maybe tomorrow she'll answer one of them

at least one

Still even as the next midnight hour comes and aproaches

I'm sitting formulating even more and more tears tears into

syllables, trying to call on her heart

Where have all the stars that we use to call on at night gone to

Tomorrow is just an Imintation repeating itself- letting me know

letting me know, that my wishes has not taken fight up- taken

flight up up up

And I'm crushed, crushed into mear fragments where once again 

the returned letters reads-the returned letters reads

( return to sender she's invisible )

Sometimes I go for walks I follow the blowing of the wind

watching falling leaves sail away, sometimes it hypnotizes me

I loose track of time, days hours and minutes, having no preset

destination of existance

ONLY

( return to sender she's invisible )

Not anymore counter resistance too your lips, once of my longing

no separations their were no flaws in the way we used to kiss 

for hours and hours no time for words, not letting any air get in

We knew eternity each other's poetry, each other's heart, and

each other's tears, you believed in me and I believed in you

we were each other's INFINITY

 

But still it tears me apart day by day night by night

each time I read again and again the words

( return to sender return to sender she's invisible! )

A very sad poem filled with so much emotional pain. When we lose someone we love, it has the same feelings as if someone had died. The pain will echo and continue as long as you stay in that place of love, because that love now no longer exists, it is like a shadow. It is time to move on and to be open to new friendships and relationships. Leave the past where it belongs, in the past and look forward to brighter and better tomorrows. Excellent writing, Robert! Thank you for sharing...

point taken / althou I get a great response to this poem and I have been heart broken from relationships in my life
this is mostly fiction.

A very poignant poem, filled with longing, anticipation, sadness... these words "return to sender" begin to echo in your brain.... and continue the sorrow endlessly.... yet after a while, the echo becomes more faint and eventually it is airless....perhaps very sad words...the best thing to do is to rid yourself of these returned letters and try to move on as best you can....then you won't have this gnawing pit in your stomach when you see those repeated haunting words...very nicely crafted poem
Warmly, B

A very imaginative heart touching poem. I can see vivid emotions and feelings taken out of soul. Good writing 💯

Those love letters were very important once. It brake our hearts when the love is never returned. I was a soldier for 15 years. Hard to learn. You were forgotten. Powerful and worthwhile words shared.
