yesterday
float
to the river
below
rest on the surface
the water seeping in
bluring the words
It's only a matter of time before
they forget about the message that didn't even arrive

A definite image was in my mind of a letter floating on the water, slowly dissolving into nothing.  I just have a question, when you were writing this, what kind of letter were you picturing? A love letter perhaps, or maybe a notice of a death in the family?
Looking forward to what the poem is about from your perspective.

I really like this poem, it has a haunting mystery about it. It is a keeper I would say.

Thanks dragonpoe, Chained Angel, and Songbird.
A guy or girl, not sure which, almost like it doesn't matter anymore becuase it's a suicide note. Saying they won't be coming back. But the saddest part is that the family doesn't even know that there was a letter to be delivered in the first place.

Thanks for your kind coments. I really had a strong image in my head of the envelope floating down.
