Drowning

[hypergrl513]

Letter by letter
Word by word
Page by page
My soul unfolds
The blue ink seeping
Into the starch white pages
Changed forever
Never to be erased
Never to be forgotten
My heart is ready to breathe

I hate that I write you
Into every word that I type
But the truth is
You're the only thing
That inspires me

Dancing with words
Grooving from my fingertips
My pen is my brain
The paper my only outlet
The silence my only shelter

But you don't deserve
To read the words
That spilled out of my eyes
Instead of tears
That kept me safe
And warm
When you refused to

I’m drowning in these words
In this ink
In my tears
But I guess I’d rather drown
Than thirst

I like that you saw the ink in this piece as an extension of your vital self. To meld your work with your life and make the point of it's importance to you is very powerful indeed. Nicely done.

Love,
AJ
