I spilled ink upon the
page I tried to write your name
quickly I ripped it out of the binded book
and flick it across the wax wooden floor
my hands stop as I try to
rewrite your name
how perfect I wanted the words to look
written across the lined paper
I wanted you to sense the
effect in every word
quickly I try once again
the words looked so slanted
as if I was writing in italic
oh how frustrating I became to get
one more try I told myself
once again I did
this time everything
looked so perfect
so right
I grab an envelope
to my love it was titled
I licked the seal and close it was
another letter I would never
send to you
