look,
this is a love letter from our past
if you read it part for part
you'll read the truth from my heart.
i never meant to make you feel like you weren't loved, it's hard to try keeping up
in areas i was never enough.
i feel the sorrow from the dust,
i feel the passion from the rough,
i feel the way you always felt when i held my tongue, mid-speech -
i thought of what i was saying as a weakness
i'm not used to being pampered,
i'm a lost thug, really.
i feel i've carried hurt from a past life,
a life where i rumbled w/ glass dice,
my karma seems like direct fire
& i can't even shield from it.
i feel like a man who died in his late 100s
holding many secrets safe for his loved,
his beloved,
sorry, i've never done enough for you,
it's like you weren't his love, his beloved.
this letter says you're not my angel, maiden,
or lover.
