Dear No One
Folder:
Letters Dear No One,
She wrote in the notebook
That I found months later
Hidden, at the bottom of her locker
Where I thought those words were meant
To be about me
And they hurt me
As I was afraid
Of the impending doom to come my way
That came a little later
Than I had reason to think possible.
Dear No One,
I read from the page
Believing I had failed her
In some fashion-in some way
Not quite believing the truth of it
Until it was much too late
To take all the words back
All the thoughts, all the plans
All the kisses I had given her
All the holdings of her hand
And all the love I had thrown her way.
Dear No One,
I say to myself
She broke your heart
And she'll break it again
So don't fall once more
Save yourself from the anguish
Of her lying words today
Ignore her existence
Forget she is alive
Until she decides to call you
At two in the morning.
Dear No One,
I whisper in the dark
Hoping someone hears me
But no one does
And no one will
Not now, and not ever
Because no one cares
And no one will
That's the road I have traveled
And the life I have had
Being Dear No One to you.

another great write.. you have some serious talent. there's such intensity and deep emotion in your words...
This poem is really sweet and has a lot of feeling! The way you wrote it is so good and i don't think you could you could be a no one to any person that knows you. This poem brought tears to my eyes when i read it!
