I’ve Read Your Letters.

I've read your letters,

And now

I find you, all the more,

Terrifying,

Irredeemable;

You’ve always been this creature,

A lithe ghost of nothingness.

Gossamer fills your every crevasse.

Who are you?

I’d wager you’ve never known.

And so,

I can only work more furiously

To widen this divide between us,

A decade under false pretense.

Your delusions

Are the the scariest monster I've faced.

Now I must depart or I’ll be erased.

Worse still,

I am alone in my recognition;

Of your mask

Your never-ceasing tears.

Those tears,

For yourself

And your self imposed martyrdom.

I've read your letters

And this is goodbye.
