Palimpsest

I (?) (?) letters
They were tucked under the ivory box
You said they contained affection
I left as the words struck my tongue
They once contained admiration
Now (? ? ?)
(?) the one you house within sheets

I caught you in this crime, the crime of due time
Coy you tried to be, but now I see the unfaithfulness. (?)

You tried to beg me, tried to persuade me, tried to corrupt me
Left me in misery
I felt the need to speak, but i held it inside of me
You asked for forgiveness as the dew drops of the rain awaited me

I caught you in the crime, the crime of due time
Unannounced, unprepared for the palimpsest
I caught you in a crime

Why, why did you do this?
Why did I even care?
Why, why didn't you warn me of your unfaithfulness?

I caught you in a crime, a crime that now has subside
I will no longer will love you, you no longer be a (?) palimpsest
