The Letter Poem by Goodenough Sakhile Dlamini

The Letter



As I walk through the valley of the shadow of love
I am just a sexual active woman who loves her family and husband.
It is a good sunny Sunday
All it on it way, but where my husband,
Who is already not in bed by this time wondering where he is this early morning.
We use to sleep till 10: 00…Yes it Sunday....
He was here last night we had a good sleep, Good sex for the first time,
Ever since our first child, he never has been this active.
It time to wakeup maybe he is outside...
As I make up our bed Oh My Gosh! ! ! ! ! ! What my diary doing here...?
I just opened it; here comes a nice folded letter,
No address, titled “My lovely wife....'
Without wasting time, I opened it roughly.
With a wonder pressure…I just read it as it...

“My wife, ”
I am sorry for not telling you this but I think it time.
Sometimes if you love the person you should let them go
I know I am not enough for you... I should go
I just packed my begs and left
Hope you will be happy without me...
I know I wouldn't be everything to you but I was trying to fulfil your needs,
You my witness on that,
Life is full of surprises I didn't believe it…
You don't have to apologize to be forgiven.
You don't have to drink to be wasted.
You don't have to have everything in life to be happy...

Divorce papers will be sent to you via mail...
Don't try to find us because you won't find us.
I've made my decision and I don't need your opinion
as you didn't consider mine when you took yours.
I am good hearted person I forgive you
I am sorry that I left with our kids but hope you will understand my motives..
I am sorry that I read your diary, your carelessness I found it lying down
I couldn't help myself but to read it
Please don't forget how much I loved you, I cared for you
I am still in love with you, our kids loves you,
Don’t worry I won't tell them what you did...
Don't worry about us we are Ohk where we are....
I will take care of our kids as always
I left you some pictures of us but,
I took the big one of our wedding day.
It reminds me of the promises we made in the church in front of priest.
I wonder why sometimes people take decisions that they aren't ready about in the first place.
But now you have the freedom you can choose anything you need
I left one of my cars, yes now the house is yours too
I am not Adele but for you, I wish nothing but the best
All papers are on dressing table...
It now belongs to you, maybe you will need it
Good bye my future x wife
Our kids are very happy to fly for the first time
I have to go the flight is going within an hour from now...
It was a pleasure to have you in my life...
