Dead Letters

123 26 40
                                    

How would I read
between the lines
Broken by tears?

When every sentence
Has no complete meaning.
But, dots telling me
Where the heart paused and cried.

Shouldn't the words
In this line be,
'and I love you'?

Why do I have to
Imagine what the postscript
With grouped asterisks means?

Why do I have to rewrite this letter
Again and again
Into a perfect piece?

With every rough folds
Thrown into the trashcan.
Finally, with this very one,
Because I feel like it's not worth reading.
