Good Riddance (Free verse) by dragonfly
It was kind of disconcerting
the news I received this morning.
You had been found safe but a little shaken.
I was more than happy you were gone.
I'd been trying to get rid of you for so long
and then came news you'd been taken.
Maybe I was too eager in my rejoice
that some guy threw you into the back of his truck.
Every day I still heard your voice,
but I tried convincing myself that I didn't give a fuck.
I wondered how much longer I could go
each time I saw your black and white photo
taped on a pole
with a reward set embarassingly low.
And now the police are on their way.
You'll be home again before night.
And while they're out searching for the culprit,
I'll be conspiring with a friend to get the job done right.
