Poetry, I've Missed You!

I woke up this morning with an urge to write
The words dancing in my head
Fight to form a straight line

Expressing myself through lines on a page
It’s when my truth comes out of its raggedy cage

Swirling words in my head, how I wish I could read them
As they’re flying around
Like my pulse, I can feel them
This morning they are rampant and won’t settle down

Anger or sadness – not understood
Emotions I would express if only I could

Poetry, I have missed you!
It’s been years since we met
When bleeding hearts
Healed from words that we shared

To sooth my own soul
Is the reason I write
It’s the one thing I know that brings darkness to light
