The letters I have that i'll never send,
are all addressed to you.
don't think there are just three or four,
there's a whole shoe box full.

I write you when I'm angry,
mad, sad, and full of joy.
I write you when I've been hurt,
by another stupid boy.

I write you when I'm confused,
depressed or even scared,
I never call you though,
because you might not be there.

this shoe box full of letters,
ehists in every space,
of ever corner in my house,
a fear for me to face.

this shoe box full of letters,
that you'll never ever read,
help me to get better,
because each one's signed by me.

Juss a lil something for Jus.

I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, to put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.

hey allysa --- sup with you and nitsuj    I always thought all this time that you two were going really strong.  Beautiful poem, obviously you have a lot of emotion you need to let go from inside.  I'm sorry.  Do me a favor, just send those letters to him.  What's there to lose?

This was a kewl poem..i kinda do what you do but instead of writing letters i write poems but rarely ever show it to the person im writing it about...their such sacred and personal things to me...i cherish them no matter what brought on the mood to express the feelings put into the poem...i love each one...awesome poem..

you know........just cuz he might not be there doesn't mean you shouldn't call him. That's givin in too soon.

I used to write letters too, but I stopped about a year ago.  It made me feel so much better because I was getting all my feelings out and it was almost like I was telling him everything, but I really wasnt.  It's hard to explain but you probably know what I mean. I would never send any of my letters either because they're so personal, but if you do decide to I hope everything works out.  I really loved the poem!

Thanks ya all! Justin and I are okay right now. He called me a few days ago and we talked for a little while, and usually when he has to get off the phone, he doesn't call back for two weeks, but he called back! But I was asleep. And I saw him the next day (Dec 31) and he's supposed to go to this party I'm going to on Sat, so we'll see what happens! :0)
