You wrote
a long time ago,
and I never
wrote back.
I guess because
sometimes it's hard
to love what's
abandoned you.
And now
all I have
are these old
angry
unsaid
and unwritten
words.

Just because I need a push in the right direction.
I had to trudge through what seemed like miles of snow on the way home from school today. I live really close to the high school (thank goodness), but sometimes home feels like a long ways away when you're squinting through a blizzard.
Anyways, I think the cold has made my brain into a viscous, unmoving syrup.

Yes, I know how you feel in this poem. Such an unresolved feeling....unable to decide whether to reach out or let it go. *sigh*

Great description and angst JB. Sometimes there's really not much you can do with old feelings except let them hang out for awhile.
