She Don’t Write Love Letters

#28daysoflovepoems by Kiara

Mind, body, soul full of fury 

Too mad, too much in her head 

Too learned and too concerned about 

What Uncle Sam and Uncle Tom said

To write about love

She is 

In over her head

Reeling in other feelings 

That remain unsaid

Her needs

They remain unmet by

Systems and institutions 

That breadcrumb with no bread and

No real solutions 

Hungry and thirsty 

Her soul stays unfed

She is vocal about her starvation but 

Silent about her heart

Eventually when it’s all said and done

A heavy head will suffocate the heart 

She don’t write love letters now but 

Boy she better start 

Pen to paper and 

Letters to words 

Sort out those feelings

Just her, her nouns and her verbs  

She can start writing so she can stop fighting

To be seen and 

To be heard

She don’t write love letters now but 

Boy she better start 

---

I don’t write love letters now but

Boy I better start

Everyday in February 2026, The House of Psalm will post an original poem about love — self-love, romantic love, parental love and so much more. #28daysoflovepoems | IG @thehouseofpsalm @kiaraleewrites
