Poet’s Pain

11 April 2006


Does anyone feel the pain
the true pain of the poet
Wrists slashed, blood dripping red
droplet by droplet, draining a soul

Words enveloped, sliding
escaping from a feeble mind
Lubricated - yet uninstantiated
to read as not to feel that ripping inside

Metaphysical to a really
this body withered in pain
Wanting to die alone
because death was not a choice

Does anyone feel the pain
the true pain of the poet
Wrists slashed, blood dripping red
droplet by droplet, draining a soul


a poet who cares
