Letters

I’ve started writing letters,
I’m sure you have gotten many;
Women who threw themselves at you;
Those who hung on to everything, 
and wrote down anything about you;
Women who’ve  had you, 
perhaps some you wish you had gotten to; 
Perfect signatures but never 
 ‘A lifetime ago, I loved you.’;
I’ve started writing letters, 
Stories I meant to send  you;  
About those you’ve loved
and those you  played into;
About who you may have given a rose;
or that girl, you know the one; 
She caused a broken jaw,
a black eye,  and a cuss 
I’ve started spinning dirty magic,
 woven crazy exotic tales,
 I’ve started writhing letters 
in hopes that someday you will be real.
