Missing Beautifully Broken

     She was smart and witty
But her pen name told her story
It tells us that she’s been hurt
And her heart lives in purgatory

Through her pain
Her wit made me smile
But our friendship lasted
For just a short while

We shared our poetry here
And in doing so we shared our soul
My darkness from a childhood past, hers
From a love washed down a drain hole

But through our pain, hello poetry
Gave us a place to bond
And it allowed us to be vulnerable
And to correspond

But now she has disappeared
Her face and poetry are gone
Just like the night disappears
To give way to a new dawn

Now my heart breaks because words
Written and read are like words spoken
Hello poetry will never be the same
Now that it’s Missing Beautifully Broken 💔
