Letters

Holding my breath
awaiting it's arrival
still no response...
Weekly letters sent,
unanswered, confusion
grips my lonely heart.
Has he moved?
Is he still alive?
Does he not love me any longer?
All unanswered queries,
all sent in letters
pouring out my love and devotion.
Am I a fool?
Months fly by
still no letters.
Has he moved?
Is he alive?
Does he not love me any longer?
It is a year today
since I mailed
the first letter.
I must give up now,
I cannot go on like this
any longer..................................
(His thoughts)
The letters keep arriving
does she not get it?
Is she that stupid?
I can't love her any longer,
I cannot respond
the letters keep arriving.
She is driving me mad,
I can't love her any longer.
the letters keep arriving.
It is my final hour,
I am about to pass on,
I should tell her.
"Dearest Darling"
I have not responded
because I was a coward.
I am not well,
I have been battling
a horrific case of cancer.
I could not bear to let you see me,
I am not the man that you loved,
I want you to know that...
I have always loved you
right up to my very last breath,
Live and find love, my darling"
The letter never arrived....
Ten years pass,
she receives his letter,
she sheds tears of joyful sadness.

Too often- missed.
The greatest treasures on the earth- are keepsakes like this letter.
So well done!

Why does it always have to be so complicated in real life, why does one person choose to turn away when the other has faith, why is it most always so heart-breaking! I just can't rationalize and sanitize it away like so many can. I'm so glad to read your poetry because I see you and I are on the same page.
Ever,
Christine
