I have been meaning to write ((poem))

I have been meaning to
write,
my dear,
yet my paper stayed
empty
and it reflected my words
perfectly.

I have been meaning to
whisper dreadful things
in your ear.

I would tell you
of all that has happened
and how life has changed,
for the better
I suppose.

I have not written in a while.
I am aware.

I have been waiting.
Waiting
to hear from you,
to hear if you would bother
to care.

I could have written
about the world
and all its sorrow
and all its beauty,
but my words are only words,
scribbles on paper,
white noise,
empty air.

I have been meaning to
write to you.
I have,
I swear
but my words
stayed merely words
and
empty air.
