You once sent me a letter

by ericdn

You once sent me a letter,
Didn’t expect it at all.
But nothing could be better,
For my answer you did call.

You once sent me a letter,
All you told me was so true.
There was no greater pleasure:
Friendship started, this I knew.

You once sent me a letter,
We learned about each other.
Not just school, life, and weather:
Your words, then, they went farther.

You once sent me a letter,
About me you said you cared.
My joy no one could measure.
All my feelings I declared.

You once sent me a letter,
My heart grew wings, and it flew.
In you I found real treasure,
And I said that I love you.

You once sent me a letter,
You couldn’t believe my words.
From me you felt the pressure,
What I wrote you found absurd.

You once sent me a letter,
And told me you had found love.
I read it without leisure:
It wasn’t me you thought of.

You once sent me a letter,
And it all came to an end.
No longer we’re together.
But will you still be my friend?

I once wrote you a letter,
Don’t know if you will read it.
And I’ll await your answer,
For the past we can’t forget.

I once wrote you a letter,
Love and health for you I wish.
Will you send me another?
I truly earned this anguish.

Eric, the first line (Score: 1 )

Eric, the first line repeat isn't strong enough to be used through the poem. First word caps don't help your cause either. The phrases throughout the poem are cliché. You're a good writer; you can write better than this.

    To be honest, every now and then I just experiment with various styles, usually (to be painfully honest) of my own "creation". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess this is one of the cases where I just have to say, "I guess you had to be there." I submitted this poem online simply because the emotion to me means something, but I can understand why it might be pretty meaningless to an observer.

    Sorry to disappoint. It happens, that's life, but I hope it won't happen too often.

    Romantic and sad... that basically describes my poetry in three short, neat, exact words!
