The poet sits in lamplit gloom
alone in ebb and flow
how strange it seems to write of love
but never feel it's glow
A sigh, a lie, a broken heart,
a kiss on untouched skin
yet still this writers heart it sits
uncharted deep within.
The poet sits in lamplit gloom
and stares at paper bare,
then puts to it her broken heart
and leaves it bleeding there.
