Dear Emily,
I miss you heaps, I have your picture on the wall
I kiss you good night every night before I sleep,
Gee it seems like years since we went out together.
I know it was hard for you to find out I was a murderer,
But I won’t do that anymore,
As long as you don’t provoke me I’m fine,
I mean I killed your cat I know but he started it,
He meowed at me when I was doing weights,
Nobody disturbs me when I’m doin’ weights.
Oh yes and your parents.
I know I fought with them all the time,
And I busted the Dad’s neck and your Mother died.
But she was old and probably would have died soon anyway.
I mean ya only have to look on the TV to see
how messed up the world is.
Those girls that I killed, I mean they were asking for it.
The first one said she didn’t like me because I was angry all the time.
Well she doesn’t have to put up with me anymore.
And that other girl. Why did she laugh at me.
I told her I wanted to marry her. She burst out laughing.
So I twisted her neck. She ain’t laughing now.
Well Em.. sweetie I face the Electric Chair tomorrow.
I hope you can make it.
Maybe bring your friends and make a day of it.
Yours sincerely
Gavin

To show how much he cared for her, he killed everything important to her, and he appears to think it's all justified, I guess there are killers who think like that. A touching write delving into the phschy
Yes they really are in a different world.Thanks for commenting

Justification seems to be the main theme of this poem. Here in the extreme but we all do it to one extent or another. There is no crime where there is no motive. Another of your stories with meaning. Nicely done David
