Oh, Gloria
here's a letter, half-burnt
thought I had...
well,
thrown it away
But here it is
all yellowed and confused
a little bit of me
for
that bigger piece of you
Just wanted love
from you
guess I am explaining
the letter I just gave to you
already screwing it up
What do I want?
simple answer, are you ready?
go away
leave me in pieces
because you'll never
ever
put me back together again

Last line - 'me' not 'be'?
I felt this more as a letter but the format took a lot away. The mood sets the tone very emotional and I just felt more imagery could have brought the poetism up a little.
