Fragments Of Love Letters Poem by Patti Masterman

thought I was enough for you? will harvest the crop in the
Fall? without you the fireplace cannot be lighted/never
really loved me, I think you just wanted/will we pay all the
bills now? If that was what you really wanted then why/only
one who can coax the dog from beneath/spent years just
waiting on you to finally/will we tell my Aunt Martha about this?
never here, I raised the children myself without any help/
the first slut who ever threw herself at/all others aside, just to
have your own way/can take the place of your mother in your
life? always swore I’d never put up/knew you liked men best then
why on earth/believe another is doing this to me again? have all
the things I have given you over the years/wanted to drive me
away from the beginning/life is ruined now, what will the neighbors
would sell your soul just for a piece of/forgot our anniversary
again, how could you? want the house and you can have every
thing else that/those bimbos just like you no good like I always
said/can't believe you've left me to have to take care/Wish I’d
known then what I know/Mother always told me you'd end up
making me/the children would never want to stay here without me/
spent every penny we worked so hard/didn't break it, it just fell of its
own accord/left your clothes downstairs you can pick up what's/
own children won't even know you/believe all those pictures were
cut up and/not the same person I married at all/would ever be able
to make you happy/never want to see you again as long as I
