The Letter Reads.....

O what have I done?

Pride and foolishness has led me to this place,

Between love and hate I could not choose

With you I could not live

But without I came closer to death

Than you would care to know

I was forged in your fire,

And undone by the same hand

Hurt I am, and sought I did

To make you reap what you

Had sown

But when my words cut your breast

I bleed in turn

I have seen you die,

Time and time again

In my dreams and dark wishes

Foolishness

For the sun cannot rise

If the moon will not set

I wanted you to hurt

So you could see

But as sharp as words are

to me they lack conviction

Read this letter and know

That I am a lier

And that I am broken

Just like you

I should have told you so long ago,

Now it is far too late.
