I wanted to write a letter
Just to say thank you
To express my gratitude
Remember when you hurt me
Injecting poison into my soul
Your words were atom bombs
Exploding in my psyche
Your anger, lies, and hate
Was a semi automatic to my emotions
You didn’t really know me
You never really saw me
Knocked me over and stepped on me
To get where you were going
I wanna say thank you
For every tear
Every sleepless night
Every thought of death
Somebody was bottling my tears
Somebody was bringing rest
Somebody was breathing life into every dead place
All you did was make me stronger
All you did was send me into the arms
Of a lover so capable
A lover so sweet
He knocks me off of my feet
While you wouldn’t
Answer the phone, text, or fb me
All I had to do was say Jesus
And my boo, my best friend comes running
So, after all you’ve done
He’s the reason I love you
He’s the reason I forgive you
He’s the reason I pray God’s blessing upon you
So, again, for leading the way to my man
The Clyde to my Bonnie
A rida who already die
I write this letter
Just to say thank you
To express my gratitude
