The Letter

An empty room, the bare table,
A lonely solitary letter,
In pain, again I read the start.
.
The words mist in my eyes and
Clear, then I read ‘Another love’
‘Goodbye’ screams out at me.

Of my heart the sinews tear apart,
Of my mind the soundness ebbs,
Of my love ‘twill never wane’.

Your magnetic pulse fades,
Leaving my life’s direction no path,
What fool am I to purport loves tenor

My tenacious soul begs for
Nature’s wisdom of a forest’s leaf,
They don’t hang on,
And just know when to let go
