I wrote you a letter
About how I feel,
Fearlessly vulnerable and soppy… again
I wrote you a letter
It isn’t poetic or eloquent
It’s an unedited stream of consciousness captured on paper
I wrote you a letter
My heart ripped open,
Blood splattered on the page in a jumble of words
I wrote you a letter
My soul laid bare,
Black words stark against the white page, naked and trembling
I wrote you a letter
That I’m not sure you should read,
Lest you be put off, freaked out or scared away
But I will likely show it to you anyway
