If Only...

   If Only...
      

I poured my heart out to you,
on paper, of course.
Folded it and slipped it
into the envelope
of my deepest vulnerabilities.
Sealed it with a hundred kisses,
perhaps, a hundred wishes.
          
And you...
impatient you, ripped it open.
I would've lived, my darling,
lived through the gashes & tears,
if only you had read
more than words.
         
On paper, of course,
I poured my heart out to you.
