A Letter On the Desktop

A letter lies collecting dust
   upon the corner of my desk,
like dead leaves on the winter’s crust.
      ‘Twas written by her years ago,
      and leaving me was such a blow,
   that brings back mem’ries so grotesque.

When love was young, our hearts aflame,
   like embers burning, love on fire.
But she thought love was just a game,
      or maybe thought her life bereft;
      but either way she up and left;
   this letter stating her desire.
