1. You forgot my covenants and cast off my letters
As if you never once thought of even mentioning me

2. And I had feared some of that, so when
You cut off my response, I said the matter was settled

3. And my assumption about you was that you remembered me
Even if we were stripped bare, leaving no connection between us

4. So how could it be when there is not even
A literate one to cross between us, nor a sleepless dark-eyed beauty to water our relationship
