a thousand letters

(Stole this graphic from a blog i follow, my bell jar.)


everything i write
goes undelivered to you
i've loved you all my life
but i have nothing to offer you

you said that once you knew
and i held my breath
and turned so blue
i knew it wasn't my cue

i've written you
a thousand letters
but nothing comes out right
there's nothing in my heart
that can be spelled out quite right
