The Backspace Key

[nandini00]

So may times I wrote the things
That I could never truthfully say.
I wrote each feeling crystal clear
Then erased it straight away.

I couldn't tell you how much my need
Had grown beyond control.
Nor could I tell you how completely
You've overtaken my tender soul.

I couldn't explain my weaknesses
Nor explain away my fright,
Nor how my days were thoughts of you
That robbed my sleep at night.

I couldn't show how terrifying
Were the days without a word.
Nor about the jealousy I felt
From the gossip that I heard.

You'd think how pathetic
If you saw the real me,
The need i live with every day
And my vulnerability.

The lonliness and longing,
The need for your hug and kiss.
The desire in my body
And your closeness that I miss.

So I typed it out then erased it.
Knowing you will never see
All the love I have for you
Stored in my backspace Key.

This feels painfully real… not just a poem, but a confession that never reached its destination.

Sometimes the words we erase carry more truth than the ones we dare to send.​

When you express your feelings sometimes it makes thing clear, and sure your msg will reach the destination were it is to be reached

Hello and good evening Ms. . Very well written and also it does show a pain in your thoughts. It's always good to express but carry on in life. Everyone goes through some bad experiences, yet that's life. Zindagi ki yahi reet hai , haar ke baad hi jeet hai. God bless!!. Cheers!!!

Stored in my backspace key’ — Wow, this line broke my heart. There is so much unspoken love and vulnerability hidden in the messages we type but never send. Beautifully written and deeply relatable! "
