Dear John

Dear John, Forgive me for asking For the ignorance I concede Oblivious to a man’s true love Oblivious to betrayal’s true creed What can I possibly say To silence a snapshot of pain One frozen frame of infamy Stinging like a coarse autumn rain I wish I could have been there To tell you myself To stand before your convictions So you could see for yourself I know you can’t hear me Or even know that I exist But a heartbeat can't be silenced When courage has two open fists Please believe me Though you’re no longer here You’re in my thoughts, Mr. President And I too...will never live in fear
