1923

Worked on this on and off for a long while and just decided to finish it up-care of some wonderful inspiration (: I love when the little, subconcious things people do give way to some great thoughts.

January 15th, 1923.
Hello there sweetheart, It's been quite a while,
How have you been, around this world so many miles?
I've sent many a letter, couldn't possibly send one more,
I've waited for a response, disappointment in store...
It's alright though my love, I understand,
Life has consumed you, its grip on you tight in its hands.
Well darling, I hope this short letter reaches your eyes,
Wish to hear from you soon, best wishes, goodbye.

May 14th, 1923.
Hello my dear, it hasn't been too long, 
Since the last time I wrote you nothing special has gone on.
I miss you like crazy, I can hardly breath,
Without seeing your smile I feel weak in the knees.
I wish i could see you for more than a moment, 
When you enter my dreams, by morning i've forgotten it.
Although, i'll never forget the time we've shared,
Riding life like a highway, up over the bend, ending up here.
I really do hope you're doing alright these days,
If you ever need anything, you know i'm merely one stamp away.
Always remember i'll love you until the very end,
Write me as soon as you can, goodbye my friend.

December 4th, 1923.
I don't understand, love, why you have not yet wrote,
It's been months and i've barely been staying afloat.
I don't think you realize how much you mean to me, 
Your mind. Your heart. Your soul. I need.
I thought you felt the same, you and I until the end,
My body barely functioning,
My heart shattering.
But with all this on my mind, I will not be selfish,
If you've chosen to forget me dear, i'll always respect your wish.
I just ask for one thing before I leave you,
One thing to remind me of the reason to carry through.
Write me once, just one time,
Before I continue on my highway without you by my side.
Hope to hear from you even if it's just one word,
I never thought our road would lead us here,
But then again, who am I to control this world?

November 30th, 1923.
Hello my baby! Please forgive me,
Time has escaped me, although excuses are not nearly what we need.
I've missed you darling, since the moment you left,
That very moment leaving me out of breath.
As I released you from my arms and watched you walk,
I knew i'd never forget you even if we would never talk.
I'm sorry my letter would be seemingly late in the race,
By now i'll be watching you from a better place.
It's gotten me darling, what we all fear deep down,
It's robbed me of my life, our wish never to be found.
In this pale room, with these sheets and a flower, 
My mind as drifted away with each passing hour.
But you've never left me, I'm glad you didn't,
The thought of you out there somewhere kept my drum beating every minute.

Maybe one day i'll have the privelege of meeting you again,
Then finally we'll be free of this neverending pain.
I can settle for knowing you loved me as much as i loved you,
Although my soul grew heavy with each day i lived not knowing if you would too.
You meant the world to me and even more,
I just hope you know i never forgot you, like the knowledge the ocean has that the waves will always hit the shore.
This letter may be tiring you, you don't have to keep reading,
I just can't let go, who will keep my heart beating?
The truth is...im scared, love, of what is to come for my soul,
But I guess it's not your place to save me anymore.
My tears staining this page, you'll be in my heart forever,
Like my feelings in this letter, you were always my desperate endeavor.
It's time for me to leave, you were my last goodbye,
Maybe one day you'll realize it was fate you couldn't deny.

Enjoy (:

strange spoken word poetry, but I like it. The imagery is powerful. Writing it in a journal type style is definitely different, but different in a good way.
