A letter.... with emotions

I am being formed...
Sshh!... wait and I will let you know,
Its meant to be personal
Hold it just within you, right?

There, the blots of ink that make me,
Form slowly on the paper...
A bond formed, that cannot be broken with ease
Let me wait and watch what makes me

She seems sad, yes its obvious,
I can see that straight mouth,
A soft sigh, she is unnaturally beautiful,
My writer, even with that pain in her eyes

She's penning something about getting a job,
Mailing someone about how she just missed it
"Missed the big chance", in her own words,
She has finished with me, and now is sealing me up

I can see nothing now, though
Just the rusty brown of the envelope,
Guess I must be on the way to whoever she sent me to,
And well, for now, must rest a while,

Hey!.. yes, I can sense the light
Guess the seal is opened, at last!
And well, I can now see the person who is reading me,
An old lady, guess she is the mother of the one who wrote me


Hmm... a pause... the lady sighs too,
Shriveled, she looks saddened,
Muttering something, she picks up the phone,
Must be to call up her daughter, and i must listen in here

"It's me dear, No don't get upset
I know its a loss, but then stay hopeful
We can manage through,
As we have been doing all along"

A pause again, I am sure she is hearing the reply
"Oh yes, go for the interview tomorrow,
And if by chance you miss it too
Come back home, child
At least here, you and me can be together"

She places the phone back on the cradle
And turns to me,
Silently, with shivering hands
She files me away...

I can't help but remain silent,
Among the other letters in the file,
How we hate bringing up bad news
My clan and I,

Someday later I may be reread
Or may silently waste away
Maybe i will be discarded soon
Whatever, now excuse me,
I got to get over my personal despair....
