i write For

by @beetleboo52

I write for someone whose name I have             long since forgotten. I write for someone new each time pencil             hits page. I never know who the words will pour             out of my heart                                                  For. I write for you and I write for me. Because I'm Selfish like that. So with both our minds in heart, I transform blank page into a mine-field             of words. That mine-field is my dearest friend. It is my worst enemy. My Achille's heel. The mine field that            gives me life                                                   Also steals my breath. So I write this to you, and maybe the death            of this artist can                                                   Save you. Maybe a glimpse inside my head            will be your                                                   Salvation. So I write this to you, for once, with entirely un-selfish Ambitions. That you might live. If you live, and I die, then that is a note-worthy S a c r i f i c e.
