Monologue From 'My Dearest Martha's Letter'

I remember you know Martha. I remember how much you love poetry. To read and to write… BOOM! It all happened so quickly! All so fast! I couldn't stop it. But there he lay… On the ground in front of me. He was going, going, gone. It broke me down, It knocked me
