There is no love for a poet None, not even hint Is the constant showering Of romantic and beautiful pieces Not amusing to you Is the feeling of being needed The center piece to my inspiration The pinnacle of my muse Not amusing to you There is no love for a poet You use us like tools Playing like the fools we are Simply because we are more open Wanting no longing for attention Yet at the slightest We bury ourselves Deep under your flesh Wrapping around your pinky And hence beginning the self destruction process There is no love for a poet Apparently we are useless But what would you do without us You turn to us when you have a problem Beg us to capture you i our poems When all you have done Is reject the idea of loving us Well ******* We are poets Real poets We have the open hearts And welcoming smiles Of people who truly know What it is like not to be loved We are poets And there is no love for us
