Did you even see it coming?

The third letter that I wrote you,
with it's curled up edges and
an over-dosage of pen use.

Did you even see me writhing?

Constantly squirming under
your stare.

Did you even care at all?

The third letter that I wrote you,
with it's stock pile of secrets.
I spent a few hours depicting each
sentence precisely and tearing
my feelings out of the drawer.

Did you even see it coming?

The third letter that I wrote you,
I bet it broke you down.
You were doing so well and
I'm sorry that I had to
pull you into my life
once more.

The third letter that I wrote you
was so much to handle,

I had never spilled my guts to
anyone I loved.

Did I ever say that I loved you?
If I did I was lying.
I loved the way you
made me feel once upon
a dream.
If I actually loved you,
I wouldn't have given up
like I did.

And if you loved me
you should have proved it.

The Third Letter That I Wrote You,
Oh, give it a better name.

Those eight pages that I wrote you -
please don't make me go insane.
