return to sender

i get the neighbor's mail
by accident.
it's a letter
from someone, somewhere.
thinking it's
for me
i cut it open and take
a look.
it's a love letter, a letter
of remorse
and pain.
a letter of contrition.
a letter of apology.
a letter of someone taking
the blame.
i seal it back up, and
put it in the neighbor's box.
although it said
the right things,
it wasn't for me.
