A two-line note is not enough

You didn't have to leave.
Hearing her say 'ma ma'--
we were so worried about you.
Our miracle.

I hope
I hope this doesn't hurt you
I hope

You didn't have to leave.
We were so worried.

You know where we live.

Please write back.

Oh, I love this, the way 'I hope' and 'you didn't have to leave' are repeated. It's very moving. Well done.

Thank you very much. The tricky part with found poetry is making the story different from the source, and I'm glad you picked out the bits I used to change it.
