Tragedy

I must write although we are apart

Spare a thought for my broken heart

They were the words she boldly wrote

Tears in her eyes a lump in her throat

This was a letter to her ex boyfriend

Oh my god would her heart ever mend

Paper was wet with tears from her eyes

The only sound was her whimpering cries

Alas this was more than she could bear

Swallowed the pills more than her share

Found next morning all cold and dead

Note was in ashes it would never be read
