Description Barely focusing,
I still see what is written;
Though the fog in my mind
Is thick and opaque
And the blood is pounding in my temples,
I can still read what is written.

The small heart drawn in a notebook;
I don't use it anymore.

I breathed on the window
So I could leave a mark with my finger,
Written only in thought now.

The poems and the letters,
Pen, and pen only;
The color of red,
The color of black;
I won't take it back.

I trace the words with my fingers
And whisper them as I read.
I read of anger;
I read of greed,
Of envy and empty wishes.
I know them so well.
There were times
In the past,
When life was a hell;
I knew them so well.

And so I make this card
For a fake cause;
I sign it with hearts,
I glue it with love;
I drew it with love.

A stamp for some change,
A colored envelope for flair;
You knew I would care.

I promised that I'd send it

And what will come in exchange?
By chance some chocolate and flowers?
Maybe I've done enough now?
Maybe I've changed.
Maybe.

I won't think about it anymore;
That's what memories are for.

What the person above me said. This - is really breathtaking - heartfelt.
It is close to ten out of ten.

Feigned love? Past of question. So poetic! A rejection? (<<.<
Deep meaning, this poem has. Of course, I could say that for almost all of your poems. Out-shtanding work.
