Analysis of A Crazy Fan Letter
The many love notes
I wrote to you
have burned deep holes
in scented white paper.
Sharp point of my poison pen
Spilling my blood
like red ink, page after page.
I've run away with the words
Pouring my heart out to you.
My love, I am the only one
good enough for you.
My love words don't still
the ache in my heart.
You will always belong to me.
Fantasies,a dusting of dreams
I have spread on these pages.
A strangled mixture of my intentions.
Strange words, I admit;
but to conjure up such a response
from you, is insane.
I still don't see the need
for the dam restraining order.
