This is not a love letter

Dear ______
Letter number 1.
Written but the
words are sparse
and untidy.

I never sent it,
you would have noticed
each unstable verb.
The square paper, stamped;
a forced smile.

An image you'd
never want to see again.
You wrap me up
and hide me away.
Teased apart by your touch.

Small but beautiful, Beeme. Love the idea of an 'unstable verb'!
