dear you/the range of hearing

[gaspworthy]

i sent you a postcard
postdated yesterday
if you got it
could you read the fine print
carefully
and write back soon
i agonize over your response
a simple yes or no will do
don't leave me waiting
for too long
i miss you
hear back from you soon

if you read this
please remember
that i am fragile
and take all you say to heart
and i know what you really mean
when you shut your mouth
and pretend that it wasn't you talking
but the television
i can hear voices
and they are not in my head
they are on your answering machine
calling you
haunting me
and the worst thing you could do
would be to lie
(like you always do)
and say it is okay
when obviously
it
is
not

And in less poetic news I made myself into an icon, so now I can be inside your journal entries. Aren't I adorablly...pale?!?!?!
