Hope.less.


I have four unsent drafts in my email
I will not send them
In fact, I’ll delete them after a while.
I know they will never reach
The hearts I want them to
Or even touch the eyes
I need them to see.

I write these words just to ball them up
Throw them against the wastebasket
Wanting to burn it all
But I end up
Writing more, thinking more
And discarding more.

And yet still I write these words - 
Words you will never read.
Because
After all,
People still leave notes at the Wailing Wall.
