The never read letter

I am the never read letter,

I was forgotten somehow,

I can hide my longings,

I am fading out,

Bleaching in the sun,

in these discoloured ropes,

Before the candles burn out,

set fire to this envelope,

and remember the smoke,

that was me,

Let the wind take the ashes,

of what I could have been.
