Four Words, One Reason

I knew what it said before I even opened it But when I unfolded the letter, it hit Water washing over me, coming undone Instantly forgetting everything we were to become Those thoughts and you were in the past My prayers unanswered on hoping this would last I threw away the pain and the matches Blowing the flame, before the fire would catch us we were already burning before you even left Forty three days and I still haven't slept Thoughts of us just kept keeping me awake Next time I would fall away before you could take what isn't yours, now I'm here on your street What am I going to prove, is this even for me Or for the satisfaction of its self Or for you to go through pure hell Like I did, if you read this I hope you know I would have said something as I watched you go My words were not vocal, better through poem Whoever is reading this, I hope you never know him

Seems like you have had a bad relationship - or are describing one. Some clever rhymes here. Joy during the holiday season! Love Matthew Anish
