I recently found a stack of things I wrote, so I figured I could post a few of them here to get some feedback and hopefully get better at writing! Please tell me if you loved it or hated it (although I would much prefer you love it, of course :P )

These are going to be poems, a different one per chapter. Here goes!

Letters From the Heart

To Him -

I love you,

I really do.

But I don't really know

If I'm in love with you.

To Her -

I see you,

You pretend not to see me.

You slide by the walls,

A ghost of your former self.

To a Soul in Pain -

I know you,

Or so I think.

Behind the carefully crafted mask

Lies a yearning that devours all.

To a Star -

I pity you,

Who shines so bright.

You blind those around

As they try to hide your light.

To the Restless -

I read your eyes

The reason you hide them.

Hopeful, yet afraid to be discovered.

So true, so tired, so lost.

To the Confident –

I envy you,

But understand so well

The need for perfection

That befalls those who can.

To the Innocent –

I'm losing you,

Yet we don't know it.

We both walk different paths,

Each trying to save the other.

To the Careful

I thank you,

For always caring.

I am you, you were me,

Forever sharing this crushing bond.

To Myself…

I am me,

Whoever that is.

But I am never alone

In this wonderful, cruel world.

To sleep… To rest…

The world will move on.
