Dear Reader

Dear Reader
To anyone it might concern
I found the bleeder
And cauterized it with a sterile burn
It stopped beating
The chapter’s coming to an end
But keep reading
There’s a question that I must amend
Is there nothing I can say
To make you come around my way
Dear reader
The coffin and the killing jar
A box of cedar
The size of a human heart
So dear reader
Then if there’s nothing that I’ve overlooked
Then I’ll leave her
Between the pages of this book
Is there nothing that I can do
You know I’m still in love with you
Is there nothing I can say
To make you come around my way
Is there nothing that I could do
You know I’m still in love with you
Dear reader
This is my final scrawl
The make believers
Will die unhappily after all
