The envelope
Written in heavy hand
As if pressing steel
Or stamping land
Letters printed
With force of day
Inside the message
Youve gone away.
The postman moves on
To another home
Not realising
Delivered to the bone
A cutting deep
Merciless knife
That in a moment
Changed a life.
In the hallway
Frozen time
Half way house tears
That were mine
Letter in hand
A cruel blow
I never knew
What you did know.
