POETRY CORNER LEHER TO AN EX LOVER

T.N. Scott I remember the nite we met. I doubt you do, men don’t usually remember those things. It was shortly after my 20th birth­ day. I’d traveled thousands of miles and endured great fatigue to glimpse my destiny, kismit, my downfall; and what may have been your shame, in more ways than one. I can most assuredly say that at the time, never would we have imagined that we would end up in each others arms. And never once could I have conceived that you would be the one. The one who would create such a vast emptiness inside of me. An emptiness that runs so deep that now, years later, 1 can still hear the crying echo’s of your name within my core. But on that nite you were just a name given a face, and I BADDLOVE must admit, I was not impressed by you. What did you think of me? Not much huh? I’ve often wondered what you ever thought My love is so long badd or felt about me. that the nile just looks at me and says, And now after the friendship, the giving, the taking, the “Go girl!” cooking, the loving, the jealousy, the insecurity, the selfishness, the You think I’m lying? tears, fights, and more tears, and finally the vast and engulfing Dare me to prove it, emptiness, I’m ready to talk to you. I’ll create a supple sea of lightly scented silk that will allow I’m looking for peace and am convinced that you hold the portion I am missing. you to float to edge of the horizon for a taste of sunset. 1 feel like a fool writing this, when I know you have dis­ You don’t believe, me call me out. carded me from your heart and mind, like yesterdays rubbish. I thought I had done the same until news of your impending marriage My love is so tall badd reached me. Then I remembered all I had forced myself to bury. A that the moon looks up at me and says, gamut of emotions coursed through me: shame, anger, shame, love, “ There’s a beautiful T.N. ou tonite.” shame, betrayal, and shame. You sthink I’m lyiing?

People often commented, “ Girl, I can’t believe you fell in love with HIM!” 1 can only reply that it wasn’t what I thought it would be. It wasn’t My love is so deep badd exhilarating, it was scary. It wasn’t exiting, it was ordinary. It was that the oceans deepest trenches roll their eyes and say, cooking for you, it was asking you about your day, it was washing “ She thinks she’s all that.” clothes while playing gin, and listening to your dumb stories.

Maybe a better question is How? How after the warmth, I’ll step through your door and redefine your reality. my protective warmth, could you have lain so dormant. You har­ nessed my feelings like a greedy logger in the rain-forest; not car­ ing about the depletion of the resource or the destruction of it’s life force. After all this time I still wonder, yearn to know the answers. A virgin heart heals so slowly, so painstakingly slowly, that it doesn’t feel like healing at all. Did you know that? Probably not the type of thing you concern yourself with. Believe it or not I do wish you happiness, I always have. But there were things that needed to be said, maybe you have a statement or two also; I doubt it but one never can tell.
