I used to write you poetry
Then one day I could no more
There were too many words there
That could leave my heart raw
So I threw away the pen I used
Desperately tried to close the door
Yet the feelings built up and up
Until finally I could take no more

The words spilled with a vengeance
Upon page after page of white
They talked highly of love and lust
They mentioned things, both wrong and right
They cursed and expressed and cried bitterly
Until the tears blurred my sight
Then finally the love bled through
And gave me the strength to fight
