Unopened.
I received your letter yesterday,
Lost it, too,
Didn't want to read it, anyway.
I wish I could claim it smelled of you;
Soft and sweet,
But I know that simply isn't true.
I like the way your cursive loops,
Your words kind,
Curving in their azure groups.
I broke the wax seal with my nail,
But right then,
Couldn't bring myself to read the mail.
The envelope was stained by wet tears,
Yours, I know,
Can't stand them now any more than prior years.
I don't want to know why you sent that note,
Hurt by words,
That you might have never wrote.
Is it because I cannot stand you?
Is that it?
Or is it that I'm sad we're through?
I didn't write back because I was afraid,
Scared, I guess,
Of the great big mess I'd made.
I've no right to read it now,
That I know,
But I won't ever allow.
I need to know what you had to say,
It's not okay,
To let your love just fade away.
