The Letter
The letter rested softly on my doorstep,
warmed by the sun's distant glow.
As it sat, it demanded my attention,
promising the answers that I needed to know.
Hands, shaking in anticipation,
reached out to grab the parcel.
And without pretense or dignity,
tore open the letter, hoping to claim the treasure within.
The unfolded note read like honey,
your flowing script dancing across the page.
But I took heart not from your calligraphy,
rather my heart raced, my body tingled from the message within.
Alas our masquerade would end,
our broken hearts, love had a chance to mend.
Your confession breathed into my life meaning,
together we would live, and want for nothing.
All said the fateful letter from you,
that would lead you and I straight and true.
All said the letter that never came,
and here I remain, alone
as you slowly forget my name.
