A few words that are embedded deep in the heart
Are much better left unsaid, lest they fall apart
They weigh quite heavily, and the mind gets burdened
May not see the light of the day, forever remain buried
Even when scripted and scribbled with care
Fragile on its shoulders, extremely difficult to share
Carefully wrapped in the paper, they remain there
With a constant fear, someone may find it bare
With the passage of time, the ink too fades
The hidden feelings lose their lustre, the memory evades
The paper changes its sheen, though it remains the same
Where to post them, it has lost the address and name
The weight of the unsent letters that are inked stealthily
Is too much to bear, though stored very carefully
At some point in life, when you are charged emotionally
They hold within them those feelings, quite nostalgically
