Your Letter

You wonder why I kept your letter
The one you wrote me last year

I kept your letter to remind me
Of everything I am not

I reread your letter to remind me
Of everything you are

I didn't think that it could be this hard
Or hurt so much

But that is just like you
To act like something you aren't

Did you honestly think I forgot
About the knife you stabbed in my back?

I've got the scars to prove it
Two, to be exact

The one in my back
And the one in my heart

I kept your letter
So that I would never forget

Or forgive.
