About Those Letters
If I had any love,
Left in me.
I’d write you those letters
So you can see-
How much I care.
Maybe one day-you’ll know,
This is true.
And will you have the same
Feelings for me-
As I’ve for you?
What if everyone knows?
Will you mind-
If they talk about us,
Behind our backs,
And are unkind?
Or would you feel ashamed,
In your soul
For me wanting to share,
These simple words?
From me-to you.
P.s.If we could ever meet-
What would we talk about?

About this poem
From the dark years collection…I believe this may be in reference to a certain 10 letters…But who can say for certain???thru and thru… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cKjiKJDJzY0&list=PL3VACt804cF4wBvgA0SlqWGlsQz2agR2E&index=8&pp=iAQB8AUB This is how I picture my self clumsily strumming my guitar…Or were you referring to your guitar???Or you could teach me how to strum it the way you like it to be strummed…If you’d like…I never really was very good with punctuation in my poems…I feel that it restrains them…So much for that comment…For what it was worth…
