hello. i said hello. can you not hear me?
where have you gone,
the person i once wanted to live with
on the far side of the moon?
i told you all my secrets and all the ugly things
that ever crossed my mind.
with all the trash i was afraid to show to anyone,
where have you gone?
give it back, give it all back
for someone vile enough to vanish without notice,
i know, is capable of ripping out my innards
for the world to see.
put everything i told you in this envelope i sent you
and send it back to me,
you selfish scandalmonger.
