Hate Mail

You sent me a letter
from a place very far
– Oh my…
Did your words break my heart!
“Forget about me
’cause I found someone better”.
My chest shattered.
I fell apart.
To pieces I crumbled
and I disappeared,
humbled
and so full of fear!
“Sheer madness
I ever have longed to be near
You”
– I get it…
I still love you, dear.

A poem by Pia Petersson

Remorse

There you were
with your hair down,
waiting in my garden,
with your friends,
to come clean.
And you came up to me
to confess your love,
by the sandpit.
And you wept
’til I woke from my dream.
