I haven't finished it yet...bare with me :)



The remains burned slowly
Until I blew them out
Brushed the abrasions to the side
Revealing recollections of melancholy dreams
Inscribed my pain in his veins
Pumping every tear and iniquity committed against me
Walking away in the midst of my papers is
Your name, surrounded by infamous heartbreaks and exclamation points
Ending in nobility
I dot my “I’s” , bold the “love” and underline “you”
It is not easy to escape this escapade
Not too soon before I hate you again
And somehow it amuses me
This hide-and-seek type
Can’t give up until I get it right, game we play
Outlining reasons to call
Running to my pages is your name, as I write this letter
Stating “Dear you know who,
The rumor is in fact true,
For some unknown reason I tolerate the remote things you tend to do
Can even pull out the actions to say ‘I love you’
In case you forget who this being is, it is truth speaking loud and clear to you
I once said ‘my pen no longer carries the strength to speak of you’
Well my pen is empty in need of refilling
That’s why I called you
My pages were beginning to shrink
That’s why I called you
Underneath this synthetic type
Inhales and writes, a real type
A real; genuine; an
Authentic lady
Can’t fathom the idea of
Understanding through vulnerability
Connecting pages
Refilling empty hearts
Be my words
And we could be like my words
Eloquent, intense, genuine, legendary
Forever”

I double space and sign this letter,
“Inevitably yours, Jackie”
Address it to
Somebody
‘Cause that’s who you are to me
....To be continued....
