The Text Message Poem by Wilfred Mellers

The Text Message
Written By: Wilfred Charles Mellers
Date?

My honey text messaged me
She said she wanted to be free
She didn't listen to my plea
She just said she's sorry
She said she didn't want to hurt me
She said please don't be angry
This way is better you'll see
She said just please let it be

I was so filled with doubt
I just couldn't figure it out
What was it really all about?
Tongue dried by a thought drought
I wanted to scream and shout
I just didn't take that route
Words I was without
The soldier now a boy scout

A moment is all it took
She never took a second look
She wrote it all on Facebook
My life her message shook

Now the whole world knows
Sometimes that's just how it goes
My summer it now snows
The ground beneath now froze
Nothing left between the high and the lows
Can't even fit my clothes
For someone else, she now poses
Her new bed now filled with roses
