I'm not sure your receive this letter before my timely death.
Not sure your receive it at all, before my last breath.
I just need to confuse to you why suddenly I left.
And ask you to forgive me my sweet Beth.
If my words are blurred and not too clear.
It’s that my vision is failing me my dear.
At first I was afraid to die with such fear.
But know all I want is for you, my last words to hear.
If only death would give me the wish to see you again.
To let you know you were more, than just a dear friend.
I was a coward to leave and let things end.
But with these word I wish your heart would mend.
I have a tumor that is deep within my brain.
That made me crazy and ever more insane.
Rage and anger erupted, with no one to blame.
I heard voices and see visions that I couldn’t explain.
I felt pounding pain deep in my head.
For days and nights all I did was lay in bed.
With convulsions some days I thought I was dead.
The tears drowned my screams as my flesh turned red.
As time when on my body wouldn’t respond.
The vision of you appeared for you’re the only one.
That could comfort the fear of death to come.
Forgive me for the hurt and pain that I have done.
From heaven I will watch over you.
Pray for me sweet Beth, for my life is though.
My tears fall on this letter for memories of you.
Believe that all these years, my love for you was true.
With loving memories
Thomas XOXOXOX

Aww
So sad and sweet. Very tear-jerking and it touched my heart. I found it hard to turn away while I was reading this. I could feel every pain and tear you felt and yet I wanted to keep on reading. I just wish my boyfriend could send me something like this when we die
It flows ever so beautifully, with imagery that can both make you cry and sigh in admiration at the same time. You know its amazing
Keep writing (and I really mean it) thanks for sharing

Quite an emotional blend of timeless love and caring hidden under a mask of betrayed hatred.
"If only death would give me the wish to see you again. To let you know you were more, than just a dear friend.I was a coward to leave and let things end.But with these word I wish your heart would mend." That is my favorite part. To me it speaks of the most emotion and regret I found that I am of some relation to this poem I let a friend fade away and now I wish I never had and I regret it deeply but alas I can't change the past. This poem is a true work of art. Well done on this write and Bravo. Keep Writing.

I loved this. Very creative, very sad. At first i did not appreciate the gramatical errors, but as a read on i thought they were very clever considering the situation. i love it when people think about simple things like that while writing poetry. it gives it a good affect and a realness that is greatly appreciated. assuming you know how to do it correctly. i liked averything about this poem. it makes you think about alot of things and gives the reader a mental image of whats going on. i also liked the picture above it. it sets the stage for the poem. its a constant reminder that this poem is sad but the intentions are sweet. I loved it and i loved the thought that went into it!=)
