ghost letter

lainacarson98



Each day I waited for your letter.
I don't know if I was waiting for you to write me back,
or if I was waiting for the same letter that I sent you to be returned.
I don't know if I was writing you because I missed you, 
or if I just needed some reassurance that you were still there.
there's a part of me that says I don't care whether you got my letter, and just didn't care enough to write me back; 
or if your just not here anymore to get it.
then again there's another part of me that cares enough to still go out to that mailbox every day,
and apparently I still care enough to feel a little disappointed;
when I don't get a letter from you.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I found out the man I called father is alive. he's not my bio dad but I remember when he was there when my father wasn't, even when him and my mother weren't together. she gave me a address that's it, and I sent the letter in. that was 5 years ago......no response

    I really feel this poem. Some things smoulder in you forever, i know this.
    From his viewpoint it may be painful to contact you or he may be in a relationship where he wont for any number of reasons contact you.
    I think he should though, to let you have some sort of closure.

    Heartfelt.
