Unopened emails

Flood my thoughts

Too many messages

Of forget-me-nots

It all fills the box

I pretend they aren’t there

That they’ll just go away

I’ll remember them tomorrow

Maybe another day?

Emails of concerns

Or “how are you today?”

Emails full of promotions

One more thing, they say

Emails I’ve sent

The words wasting away

Maybe it isn’t my emails

I’m pushing away

Maybe it means something more

The fear of opening the same emails

For evermore-

Unopened emails

I save them for another day

I push them out of my mind

And in my inbox

they stay
