the letter i never sent
had your name on the back
it was folded up into a square
and sealed up with a tack

it said three simple words
what they were you will never know
because they betrayed my feelings
which I can't allow myself to show

when i wrote those three words
and saw them on the page in black
i knew that if i sent it
i would never get it back.

I think the last statement has a lot of power in its real meaning, and its creative wording.  "I'd never get it back" takes a minute to fully click.  I like that.  
I sincerely hope all gets better for you.

well done on this one! I really liked the way it was written.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
