Another Love Letter


just another letter
you will never read
one written to
pour myself upon
in here where there
is no reason to pretend
truth I must daily face
and the softness of me
caresses paper instead of
the skin I so achingly need
sitting here tonight finds
me not quite as sad loving
you alone in my silence
it was born and breathed
and when cradled just
so hard to let go of
and once lives goes on
a beating in my heart
I had tried to stop
were they words
I shouldn’t have
said aloud to now to
only change you to
become just a memory
for my flaws get
way too much credit
and my love gets
no credit at all
so here just another
letter for you that
you will never read

"be prepared to bleed"  Joni Mitchell

and ride his stallion
to kidnap a slick godiva

I have written many such letters I never mailed...sigh....it can be cathartic, but not always
passing shadows
