Your Mum

Dear John

i’m so sorry

none of us

believed you

not one single word

you said

none of us

could have known of

the dark future

in your head

Dear John

i’m so sorry

i thought you

were crazy

i thought you

were mad

then when i didn’t

see you anymore

you know…

i was kinda glad

Dear John,

i’m so sorry

i thought your mother

was mental

i thought your mother

was insane

all that time

in Pescadero

waiting

for the final rain

RIP Sarah Connor

About the Creator

Brenton F

Every letter in every word in every line is a burden I no longer have to bear, how much is not enough, how little is too much?

I finally have an E-book!

Please buy it because I'm a shit salesman

    I was lost without any context of this poem but then I read Andrew's comment and now understand. Such a poignant poem!

    I fear this may refer to something I have no knowledge about...but I liked the poem. I liked the confession of being glad not to see him.

  • Niiiice. But have no fear. He’ll be back
