Fatal Assumption... Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Said, you needed some time, so I watched you walk away,
determination was never a suit of strength worn by you.
I hadn't seen you in weeks after you claimed your freedom,
I never chased anyone who I felt didn't want to be caught.
This morning I heard a gentle tap, tap, tap at my door.

Yes, I had a feeling your freedom would not be a lasting one,
this was on my mind as I took a slow walk through my vestibule;
It wasn't you at the door but instead a local state trooper;
He said they found you face down in the River Eau de Claire,
a picture of us in your wallet, and an illegible penned note.

You said you needed time, so I respected your wish and let you go..
I really thought you would call me.... when you'd had enough time.
