Dear someone I loved,

In my sincere discovery,

I found out that you don’t exist.

A ghost in my imagination

With white wisps of holy good.

You loved me like most,

You call me my name,

You rush into savior,

And then take the blame.

But I know I should know better

And it isn’t your bitter fault

But honestly,

Out of everything,

You were just a mere catalyst.

The bubbles of today got bigger in boil

All because you were dropped into the problem

You thought you can complete the solution

When in reality,

These chemicals in chemistry

Turn acidic as soon as you enter.

And I believe that this moment would’ve been better

If you stayed out of the way of a conflict you weren’t involved in.

You were my savior.

You were my hope.

You were everything to me.

But now…

Even if you were there physically,

I now realise that the idea of you,

The hope you gave me…

Was a ghost in recent discovery

Sincerely…


The author's comments:

This piece is for someone I loved that did or said something awful to me, even if they haven't said anything. The format of the letter is a way of saying my thoughts without speaking it. I was always more comfortable saying harsh truths in writing than in spoken words as I am more aware of their initial reactions to the words than I am when they read it. It always seemed better for me and that's why my poem on this person is formatted like a letter
