I thought an underlying theme was being generated beneath the "trying to write a poem."
A letter to someone wronged perhaps, (I like how it is directed at the reader too.)
The piece can be made stronger for a reader such as I by cutting out superfluous wording,
and therefore gaining flow and pace. (maybe something like below) Thank you .JG
I fill up pages, burn letters, write books, dream
Of how I could ever explain to you
these words aren't what they seem.
I have secrets, feelings, thoughts,
relentless memories, mixed emotions
you'd disapprove of.
And guilty solace in sweet reverie.
