Unspoken, Unsent

In my head
I composed letters to you
Then I lit a match and burned them all
Let their ashes fall

To you
Everything I ever said
All unspoken and unsent
From me

So many words
Never spoke any of them
Their syllables all crumbled away
Dried up and scattered

To you
Everything I ever said
All unspoken and unsent
From me

All those songs
I wanted to sing for you
Their melodies now lay forgotten
Tossed aside once again

One small kiss
Kept locked up behind my lips
Dreamed and wished of but never given
Grown stale and dusty

To you
Everything I ever said
All unspoken and unsent
From me

To you
Everything I ever said
All unspoken and unsent
From me

Just my heart
Wrapped up and left at your door
No one ever knocked to let you know
When it withered up

To you
Everything I ever said
All unspoken and unsent
From me
