Dearest Mabel,

I'm going mad,

It's clear to me.

Because I'm really feeling pretty bad,

I think I'll be an absentee

this Christmas,

because I can't be with you.

Just send me those wonderful platonic kisses,

And no matter what I'll still feel blue.

Write me a love note,

please, even if it's all a façade,

Or just use that author you like, a quote.

I'm very flawed.

Messed up because I can't live without you,

but you must understand,

I live in fear of a coup,

from my mind and in the heartlands.
