Letter To My Ex

I remember when your tears drenched my cloth
I thought it would dry up quickly
I waited as long as I could
But it became cloudy and bigger
As it gathered together
And poured on me,
I was drenched and fussed

My feet slipped when I was alone
It's then I knew that your eyes were good to watch everyday
Even, your smiles were the jingles that lured me to sleep
I listened to my heart any time I lost my way
Your jokes and feelings were rare.
Staying beside you is a grace
Come to smile like those days.

As I read...

this poem, I was thinking that you had gained a certain measure of competence. I felt that I understood much better than in previous, recent work. Your pacing is good, I've already said that your theme is good and the beginning flows well to the end. ~ Nice job! ~ Geezer.
