Fabled Letters

If by the time you read this I am long and gone
Do not forget to write me
Send it care of post to one who is lost
And deposit the change in the appropriate slot
Wait as long as you need to
Spy outside the window for the right amount of time
Let the light on, and make sure to shower
Spare your eyes the strain of staring on
Take a fortnight to spend with friends and family
Let the call signs on the side of the courier jet
Never enter into your imagination
Assume that it was sent on time
And don't alleviate your stress by stating the obvious
Communicate with everyone you can
In the mean time do not forget your friends
Do not lose your lovers
Distraction can cause a system of doubt
That will filter through the filters
Cause the mind to think the worst
If you feel a slight flush in your cheeks
And a quickening in your heartbeat
It is a side effect of your lack of patience
And when your friends wonder where you've gone
You'll tell them you found cause
Where you do nothing but worry
And dream of the delivery
Your writing is on the wall
And I am gone
Still waiting on the side of some road
It was never going to reach me
I was always going to be here
Right on the other side of the street
Willing to communicate when you were
But the lines of communication were ended
Casual permeation causes a swelling in your cheeks
And the charisma of the letters are over
Lost in the wind of a storm that took them away
Lastly in your stance
You'll wonder yourself with worries
That worried you to death.
