Torn Letter

I can’t row your boat as you feel me float
   I can’t go so slow as you sit and gloat-
      Beneath the quivers I shiver and write-
         Relief delivers many slivers of hues of white.

I feel far away when you say you adore-
   I kneel under the stars then melt on the floor. 
      I can never go with you on your journey-
         I knew however you wanted you’d burn me.

Can I live without my reason to exist?
   Can I forgive you for the way you resist?
      NO more can I take when I wake in the morn’
          No door can make me open a letter that’s torn.
