Five Letters

These are the five letters you left me with:

So you are leaving, walking away,
Old wounds grate against silence.
Realizing a moment too late, what’re you doing,
Reading through all those beautiful lies,
You never meant what you said.

And, I read them, over and over again
but five small letters never seemed so big.

A very cleverly done piece my friend. Nice Acrostic. I've done a few and it isn't easy to fit them together this nicely but this is the way they shold be. Good job. God Bless. JB
