Your letter came today  I was so thrilled

I ripped open the envelope and my eyes
was scanning your writing when my body
froze seeing your goodbye with stained
tear drops across the letter

as i stood frozen at this moment with my
mind and heart empty my eyes tearing

I  could hear no birds tweeting the brightness
of day had clouded from my tears my legs
weaken from under me as I slowly drifted
to the ground

after a time that seemed like years I pinched
myself to see if i had life   with my sleeve i
dried my tears

my beliefs were foggy as i looked again at
the name and address on the envelope to
see if the letter was mine

to my surprise the name was not

nervously I looked at the letter again to see
who signed it and it has your name?

Confusing, indeed...but this poem holds sooo much emotion, I teared up while reading.

Thanks, Q..quite an amazing display.

Hi Q
Now you need another poem about the person the poem was written to. Don't leave us hanging.
