Letters to the Stars I Never Sent

Unspoken words written in stardust, where the heart hides what the lips never dared to share.

I wrote you letters in the sky,

In whispers only stars pass by

Each line a truth I couldn't say,

Each word a piece I gave away

The ink was made of midnight blue,

And soaked in thoughts I hid from you

The constellations held them tight,

Those unsent words I feared to write

I told the stars of every ache,

Of broken dawns and hearts that break

Of dreams I buried in my chest,

And love that never came to rest

I asked the moon if she still sees,

The versions of me lost in breeze

I wept to Mars, I laughed with rain,

But never dared to speak your name

So if you ever feel the air,

And wonder if I still care

Look at the stars, they know it all

They’ve read the letters I let fall

And though you'll never see them sent

They hold the love I never meant

To say out loud, to let you know

So I wrote it where stars softly glow
