Never expected: a Dear John Letter...

It
was
  in a letter
 he kept beside
    the bed...
and for the
thousandth time
he read her
words...

in his head
tears blurred
crimson smeared ink
'pon worn pages

for ages it seems
she had gone
just lovin' him
so long...
he struggled
but managed
to read on

chapt.3
the letter states
day wasn't going great
each had,  too much
on their plates...

it appears love turned
on a dime
to hate
now his heart's
beating at a high rate...

Perspiration's
producing
angst and
severely pounding
palpitations

the final act
a prelude
that alludes
to premonition's
fate...
