What a mess.<\/p>\n I checked \u2018Twitter\u2019 but, you\u2019re not there.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t find you on the net anywhere.<\/p>\n You must have my letters. None were returned.<\/p>\n Sometimes I feel like I\u2019ve been burned.<\/p>\n I leave the porch light on every night.<\/p>\n In the hopes you will see the light.<\/p>\n If you drive by, know that I am home.<\/p>\n Just sitting and waiting here all alone.<\/p>\n Time has come and time has gone.<\/p>\n I know I did nothing wrong.<\/p>\n Counting flowers on the wall.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t bother me at all.<\/p>\n It breaks up the time.<\/p>\n As I sit here and whine.<\/p>\n I even played solitaire with a deck of 51.<\/p>\n I never gave a hoot if I lost or won.<\/p>\n This may be the last time I\u2019ll ever write to you.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the last time I tell you I feel like a fool.<\/p>\n How long must I wait for a response dear.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t drown my sorrows with a beer.<\/p>\n Loneliness is a dangerous word.<\/p>\n When left unchanged you become a jail bird.<\/p>\n Trapped in your own thoughts and desires.<\/p>\n No way out for cheaters and liars.<\/p>\n I am not either one.<\/p>\n So why the torture? Have a heart. You have none.<\/p>\n I am in the dark on a one way road.<\/p>\n There is a killer here. It\u2019s not a toad.<\/p>\n It\u2019s these paranoid thoughts.<\/p>\n Driving me insane. My affection rots.<\/p>\n I am disenagrating into a blubbery mess.<\/p>\n But, I have to get all this off my chest.<\/p>\n I am sorry mother for all I\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n Won\u2019t you please make contact with your son.<\/p>\n ——————————————————R.
