A Letter And A Shattered Frame

The line intertwined betwixt your hand and mine
Held a letter I'd written to the one I was smitten to.
That one was you.

You read it and forgot it within a week,
You left it behind and called me a freak.
I know I'm abnormal, but we all are.
You want to be normal, so there you are.
It's perfectly natural to want to fit in,
But that doesn't justify the way you went in.

You spoiled my face and caught it aflame,
I fell straight from grace and joined the insane.
Now watch the blame shift from no one to me,
And watch the shame place sorrows on me.
But I'll carry it to make you happy.

My love flows away like rain off your hair,
And you're getting it cut so it spends less time there.
My heart pounded like a fifty-foot drum,
So you padded the walls 'til it was only a hum.
Cupid lived in my eyes and I guided the arrow,
But you ducked away quickly into spaces narrow.
I held out my hand and you grabbed onto his,
The life that I picture is nothing like this.
