The Letter

#1

Post by Echo_W95 »

THE LETTER

You wrote me a letter, declaring your love
You spoke about flying, just like a dove

You told me those sweet lies
and tore me apart
You left me floating in grey skies
With a broken heart.

I found your old letter, still good as new
And glared in pain as if it were you.

I tore it apart like you tore me
Ripped words from page
And tossed them into eternity
All I could feel within was the fire of rage.

But now I am calm, the embers are ash
And now I am free from the shackles of my past.

~~~~~

I wrote this today after finding a love letter my ex wrote me. I felt very betrayed because she dumped me for someone else without ever trying to talk things over.

So I tore it apart and finally let go of it all, as it was the last thing I had left of the entire relationship.

[apologies if this turned into a vent]

Sorry to hear about that. That's really rough.
I like the poem that came out of it though. You are really good at writing very vivid imagery...

I have to admit, your poem gave me feels.
Very well written. Poems usually come out really powerful when you put true emotion into your writing.

Thanks Chloe ^^

I have to agree with you there. Anything done with emotion behind it will always be a step ahead of anything done without it.
