Dear John

Dear John

I packed your things today. They will be at the side door that you first walked through when you met my parents. I felt torn about giving you the boardwalk photos, when we first kissed, but I figured you paid for them, so you should have them. The one thing that I kept was a picture of your kids by the lake on the 4^th of July�"when Johnny had sunburn real bad. It reminded me of when they asked if we were getting married�"and you said “maybe.”

I will miss them terribly.

 

Yours,

Genevive

i love this poem/letter its beautiful...hopefully youll fine better

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

Ahhhh .... the controlled write. So many things said in your precisely chosen words and remembrances. He just doesn't rate wasting extra words on anymore. Sarcasm at it's best in a very classy KO. Love the line through yours.

Magnificent!

I love the honesty and feeling you have expressed in this letter.

[Johnny Joe]

Beautifully written.

[Poetry child]

not sure if this is a brilliant ink from a creative mind, or a REAL pained heart writing brilliantly, but i definitely FELT this ink...

[ghost writer]

This is a amazing letter. I like the sane feel of the poem. Each step and memory with a purpose and a reason. No weakness in this excellent poem.

A candid but merciful farewell. Clearly emotionally charged, and intended to share just once more that which you shared. Lining through "yours" proves an immovable finality. He hurt you but earned quid pro quo. I feel you'd rather not have to tell this tale, but it is his making. Nice write.
