Correspondence

by

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

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