My heart heavy,
my lips dry and my hands bloody.
The ink on the paper blurry through my tears,
the envelope addressed.

A heavy sigh fills my room as I tape the pages together.
One last time I look through the endless paintings I made of you.
I can't help but sob.
You were my lover,
my person,
my everything.
But I was nothing to you.
Not even a close friend

Your love was fake and toxic,
it burned me worse than any fire,
poisoned me more than any pesticide.
I crumbled to pieces when you hurt me,
my heart bled out every time you left me in the cold.
As much as I wanted there to be an us,
the only one existing was disastrous.

A tear wetting the white paper as I seal the envelope and our fate.
I wrote and wrote and wrote.
Everything I never had the courage to say.
This letter was the last time I ever wanted to put my energy into you.

With our song blasting in my ears,
the wind in my hair and a cold last tear in my eye,
I walk to the mail station.
My heart is pumping as I open the slit and let the letter slide into the yellow box.

Goodbye,
I whisper under my breath.
May this be our last letter.
