Today I peeped, searched, and read.
Today I learned the bitter truth.
The culmination of my doubts and fears.
Simple black ink stared back at me.
A letter, ungiven, yet plainly addressed.
Folded and hidden from view.
Somehow I was drawn to it,
like a moth to a flame.
Unaware that I would get burned,
yet I feel like my skin is flaking off.
Lies were exposed, infidelities revealed.
The words cutting like a knife,
deep and true.
Your words will leave a scar,
thick and puckering.
I won't forget,
someday I may forgive.
Emotions stirred,
feelings revealed.
I've left a scar of my own,
for you to see and remember.

This was written over a year ago. I am long since past the circumstances that sprouted such feelings.
