Purple Paper

A free-write I did.

It's already done

it's all in the past

and I'm all alone

reading the fading letters

from you

 

old lost

yellow love notes

purple paper

in the light

and my hands are trembling cold

reading the fading letters from you

 

13 and 15 days

from yesterday

is when I hoped to see you

when will i know

how old you are

to the yellow letters

in my hands

 

faded letters

 

read them over and over

in the light of the darkness

that always surrounds me

 

listen to the couch moan

as the carpet cries

 

I read the fading letters from you

 

13 and 15 days

from yesterday

is when i hoped to see you

when will i know

how old  you are

to the yellow letters

in my hands

 

old lost

yellow love notes

purple paper

in the light

and my hands are trembling cold

reading the fading letters from you

 

faded yellow

blue fine lines

purple in the night

i can't see the light

somebody help me

somebody help me

somebody help me

 

13 and 15 days

from yesterday

is when i hoped to see you

when will i know

how old you are

to the yellow letters

in my hands
