A Safe Secret...

dear dead woman,

my eyes ache badly
today
but i must write
you this letter

i still have so many
things to tell you

and i could have told
you everything
when you were still alive

the moon is full tonight
and the wind is colder

i cannot rest and
i cannot sleep

i have many secrets to tell
you
and these are all safe now
since you are
dead.

your friend,
(name withheld)

p.s.
i still like to live.
