A dear John letter
to the world
a last smile, tainted
a good-bye kiss.
for a great pain.
numbness enfolds
the blood flows
off her skin
death is iminent
a slow fading of vision
distracting an everlasting
mistake.
how come she's lying there?
no one knows.
she didnt really want to die
she wanted love
her hands locked silently
a slumping then a tear
she is gone
but her mistake
plagued us
and it was all in
her dear john letter

A wonderfully accurate exploration of the aftermath of such a situation.  You captured the tragedy perfectly, Ina.  Beautiful work.

This tragedy is expressed nicely...so many millions of dear john letters sent out into the world leaving unanswered questions and no one left to answer them. Thanks for the read!

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
