I reread your letter again
(for like the 100 billionth time)
But I find new words
Like "hurt" and "lies"
But they're not new are they?
Not to my ears anyway
And I have no right to blame you,
do I?
But you left me..
Right when I needed you
you left me..
Right at the moment I started thanking God for you
So you wrote me this letter
of all the things wrong with me
Implying all the things right with HER
So I painted my face with ashes
and changed my name
But I couldn't for the life of me
not read your letter

Terrific poem
You display heartache very well in this piece and for some, letting go is harder than they may have thought -
Don't be sad lass...
your to good to have your heart dragged around.
The world is full of good lads....
but this was written well....the pain came through...
but I don't like to see ya like that now gypsy....
you dont need anyone who does not need you...
mail it back...tell the chump to have a nice life.
you are so sweet to read my work....
i want you to keep your golden smile lass....
Much love,
Lowell
