Lifeless, empty words

Thrown in haste

On cold-blooded paper

Feelings crossed out in shame

Sincerity submerged in ink

Furtive lies

Disheartening small talk

All over

I received your letter

You've hit it spot on Josie. That last punch line...... Once again Jeannot. I love it.

I love poems like this - where the last line deals a sucker punch! Well done - I love it!
