The Letter

A written message had been sent to her
From the person she loved the most in the world
The Letter that embodied a mysterious message
The mystery that was derisively jeering at her
Those words concealed in an ebony envelope
Challenged her to go closer and let herself know
Moving slowly towards the letter, her legs froze
She was benumbed, all that remained was a dead lifeless body
She could feel the pain that alleviated inside her
It left her inanimate like a dead leaf

There it lay, in the corner of the room
Glaring at her with a look that scoffed at her
She reached out and touched it
She could feel the pain hidden inside the envelope
Her fingers trembled with the corners of the envelope,
Her heart shuddered with dread
Fear enshrouded her soul
But alas, she had to release him from the years of exile
From the chained bondages of her love

She slowly tore it open
Immediatly regretting her mistake,
She saw the painful letters inked in blue blood
'Take your heart back.I don't need it anymore'
She mouthed the words over and over again
As tears smeared her lovely face
Making her go pale with the excruciating pain
She softly wept for hours
Until she was drowned in memory
The memories she had to live with forever
She loved him maybe that's why she had to let him go
Her heart was breaking into a million pieces
But all she wanted was his happiness
She had to write a reply
To this painful request
She wrote
'Keep it with you, sweetheart.It's of no use to me either.'

    This poem was beautifully painful. The way the poem builds up to its climax bids the reader to feel every word of emotion with overwhelming intensity. You have analyzed your emotions to such an extent that the reader has no choice but to feel the despair of rejection and the unrequited hope of true love. I truly loved this poem.

    I will be praying for you.

    I really enjoyed the line,
    "She saw the painful letters inked in blue blood"
    It is surprising as a poet how often ink resembles blood. Magical.

      THANKS

      well...for some love is about moving ahead after the heartbreak...for me love is "him"...

      and guess someday all will be fine...it's not that there is a dearth of men in this world...but he defines "love" so perfectly...

      if u can do a favour for me,then kindly pray for my broken relationship...i think God will hear the many prayers that go up to him...

      thanks and take care


      thanks for the contest...

    I love the ending, I can't think of a better ending than yours. You have adorned your poem with so much metaphors and imagery that it overwhelms me. There's a typographical error though, "The fear of loosing...". Anyway, your composition is full of emotion and it is highly influenced by several figures of speech. Well done and good luck.
