Like a whirlwind
These thoughts circle my heart
I want you for the reasons
You thought I did from the start
You were naïve
As I said all the right things
I was self-deceived
As I destroyed everything
Now my words look in the mirror
And see my heart standing there
Naked, ashamed, but so sure
This is all I’ve left to bear
I hesitate, my hand shakes
Holding the letter I’ve rewritten two times
I must do this for my head’s sake
So desperate for you to know why
These four walls approach me slowly
The candle beginning to dim
This letter taking the last bit of air – I can’t breathe
As the last bit of darkness closes in
