Really?
There’s a drawer amiss.
No.
No.
Close it.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Open.
Close it.
Again.
It’s futile.
But.
Again.
Again.
Again!
It’s still there.
Jesus Christ!
It’s been 11 years
Could’ve waited till I was dead
At least that I could bear
Breathe.
A false thought?
This parcel not a letter?
Please.
I mustn’t seethe
Hand out.
Reach.
Grab?
No.
Fall back.
It’s in this room?
The golden Marriott.
3 floors 6 doors
How?
Even WiFi struggles for Zoom
Think.
Think!
She was a ghost!
Yet mold grows
Emerging from the sink.
It’s been so long.
Why?!
I could just wash it down
I grew happy
Not missing her song
Whatever.
I do not care.
It’s just some words.
If worthwhile?
Well, That’d be rare
Hand out.
Reach.
Grab!
Grit.
There must be no doubt.
Open.
Read.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe!
My god
She did it.
I knew.
But.
She admits?!
Why?!
All this time
Yet a confession now?
It was obvious!
A worthless lie.
You ran!
Victim to truth?
And for what?
Because you couldn’t handle that?
Your fling with a man?
What about me?
Closure for whom?!
Must be so nice~
Being so hung on guilt
That you couldn’t see?
A worthless letter
A worthless lie
A worthless person
Digging up graves
Just to feel better
Inhale.
Exhale.
Close it.
Place.
Close it.
