A Falling Through by Ray LaMontagne

vanity

besotted,
i pull hairs out of

my head

like postage stamps.
they'll use them as
forensic evidence.
i

lick the seal and
send them
on their  way

to you,

with love.
oh

the way
you open me up,

cold sores on your tongue,
paper cuts
   on your heart.

your

strings mislead me.
you play

harmonically sad
and misused until
(and so) love

is just like the death
of e-mail,

once again.

and forever more.
