I should have
troubled you to keep your
hands to yourself.
Instead I sent you a cardboard ship,
to sail to me with.
At the time,
I didn't realize how paper reacts to water.
That's why i suppose
if I gave myself any thought
i would despise me.
This day breaks for you.
And I wonder if there's one part of you
still in the water?
I didn't want the last instance of
communication to have the word "filthy' in it.
but it's hard to tell
which one of us is being dreadfully cruel.
Mayhaps I forgot to tell you how I love
the way you enjoy how that word is peels backwards.
Or how much the bloody keys,
caused by a hog ring
affected me.
Did I so bother you,
when i told you how enjoyed your laugh was?...
i calls it damn sweet.
I think I just destroyed my greatest creation
with
Mr. Luck's
birthday eyes.
Keep talking, amy..
keep talking.
I always seem to get
the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
But I think,
for your memory..
I'll start walking with pointed toes.
Because I think that's just elegant.
Besides, I do everything in style.
And each time I see your name,
I'll cut it out as if it's a rose
and pin it to my dress
to wear everyday.
Smile,
will you?
I better go now,
I'm not safe with writing of you..
do you understand?
Oh, you're an awful man.
but if you are an honest man,
you may kiss me goodbye.
Didn't you know?
...I 'might' have enjoyed it.
