Catharsis

Foundation. Does writing letters help purge negative emotional feelings after a breakup? Title: Catharsis (A man writes a letter to put with many others. He writes one each month to try to calm his mind, regarding breakup advice from a psychiatrist) Thinking about you and the first day we wed Spiritually As I sit here Under our once favourite tree Writing to you again through poetry In the form of a letter I'll save with the many others So time won't forget us I still find myself having a familiar feeling Where originally I couldn't sleep Kept awake each night with the lone thought which beat like a heavy drum within With such zeal Does she still love me My Lucy For love has planted a seed Then I always used to get a supernatural feeling like I'm being watched by someone who too Like me has a special touch A gift of second sight which lets them see too much For whenever I closed my jaded blue eyes I used to feel you there Waiting like a new Lola Carmichael Ready to judge Behind my open eyelids Slowly taking All in I sometimes used to hear your low breathing And when the air turned suddenly colder And my hair turned a little bit grayer as I got older I always used to say aloud May peace be with you And God carry you Whenever you need to be to renew and carry in your heart This thought that our old love which I pray still binds us And we will never be apart Amen And the sudden being watched sensations used to stop So hopefully, Wherever you are You will forever feel satisfied, our relationship was so special And something so magical Still in the twilight hours of living Survives For it's now transcendental For although we both once had to wrestle hard like Samson and Goliath with the Devil Our old love still blooms like a lone red rose So sentimental and vibrating with such vigour and bliss And still follows me wherever my life Goes And will stand the test of time Like something once painted by the legendary Michaelangelo Goodnight and god blessed My love For I can feel you're here reading this Forever yours Terry (C) Copyright John Duffy
