The Letter Poem by Isatou Juwara

The Letter

Rating: 5.0


To whom it may concern;
Am sorry,
for leaving in a hurry
i hate to leave so
but i have to go
so you can know
that although
you gave me the world
my heart feels cold
for deep within me
i cannot see
what used to be
but let me promise you
that even as it takes me through
an entire life
i shall strive
to find
what i lost inside
and one day soon
am coming home for good
But until then......................

God bless you!

A letter best served cold to hot tempered people when they are husbands bashing up wives......I like the idea here.It can change characters though i am not sure if it had ever changed lives.

This is spiced up and i have to say, flows really well and it's very light...true, we need pieces like this to keep ourselves from being lost within the deepness of poems...thanks for the read.
