Literature Text

Regarding those love letters strewn on your bed

They were never meant for someone as beautiful as you

Falling hearts from the skies of time

Draped in ashen white

The writing's on the wall

Words get tossed around and jumbled

Weaving in and out of truth and lies

Regarding those love letters on your bed

I never meant the words in them at all

When I said I loved you, I lied

When I said I missed you, it wasn't what I meant

What I really meant to say

Was I love you and I miss you today

It was never in the past

Only in the present and the future

And I wipe this lip shaped kiss

From the seal of this last envelope

As I place it on your pillow

And a single tear makes a journey

From my eye, down my cheek

And into my heart

As I finally walk away
First poem I've written in a while.

Not sure what else to say really.
