the unbearable weight of an email  

…there  are

no scales       

that can measure

the  pain 

 

of crushing words

on the

heart

and soul

 

faster than

the speed

of light

the text

 

in Papyrus

font 10

as if to 

soften the blow…

 

…I’m leaving you…when you get  back this evening…I will be gone… FOREVER.

 

forever

Impact font 18

the knockout punch

to the head

Cutting truths. Really loved the striking honesty of this. A knocker-blocker. (the cow)

I like the way you've kept the tone and structure of the poem in keeping with the terse, soc. media nature of some relationships;  almost text ms scroll as a foil to the email message construction. Sharp, I like it.

Best wishes

Hello Lena.

An apology for the late reply and a thanks for reading

I could say I had a problem with sending emails, once you press send you can never retrieve it.

Whoosh...love lost for ever 

ps when are you posting again?

...similar, thank you Torscot, am hoping for a muse to kick me up the nethers, so I write summat that surprises myself from wherever whence it came...and then spend several years defending a thought I don't quite get me'sen. Such is poesy :) xxxx

Best wishes and a hug,

Maddalena  xxxxxx
