Sincerely, Mrs. JFKennedy

Location

I thought vows sealed the deal.
On that day when my eyes met his.
That very night, I knew he was mine.
A human treasure,so handsome and fine.
A white pomaded dress cloathed on my body,
enticed that moment for everybody.
Vails and bells decked the pews.
A sight to see, a place to view.
As I walked down the aisle,
I never thought that this man and I would be reciting our vows.
Forever I was indeed his,and
I must admit that I thought that he would always be mine.
So loving and tender yet very ferousious and sublime.
But it seemed as though that we made undercover enemies overtime.
I felt that we could face anything together,
oh my dear heart and distant lover.
So far away your soul lies,
I was left here empty with lies.
"Forgive your enemies but never forget their names."
I took this quote in vain.
How could someone snatch the greatest joy I yet to have?
My husband and my bestfriend!
I still have trouble fathoming,
my languor is disbelieving.
To watch my only love be seized
right before my eyes.
Such a detrimental situation for me.
My heart still lies awake at night and cries.
But I must remember that he always told me to
"Forgive your enemies but never forget their names."
I have to! I don't want his death to be in vain.
I may forgive but I have yet to forget.
That killer was wrong, dishonest, and deliberate.
If I could only face him, my questions would be.
What did you have against my man so knobbly?
Or was killing just your occasional hobby?
Why my only friend?
Couldn't we just have sat down and talked about it?
Was the beef that bad?
Did the things my husband say to you make
you that mad?
Mr. Lee Harvey, why are you being so selfish?
You only thought of your issues and not his family!
John F. Kennedy was a secrete friend to me.
You murdered my only hope of love,
I still remember the tragedy like it was a second ago.
Now I have to look toward the skies to seek pleasure in what I want!
His laughter still taunts!
I miss my fellow friend. 
The love of my life and my number one man.
I may never understand your anger against my friend.
When I lie awake a night, lonesome and grieving him all at once.
Continuously reciting his name,
I must remember he told me to always
"Forgive my enemies but never forget thier names."
