I was a poet, beyond all else
so when my body goes
and the pages wait  
know that this song
means more than the sun  
with every sentence
tied to the pain of this world

I was a poet, before I had met you
when the soften glow of
the morning light, flooded my mind
the poems would write themselves
each line shining brighter
then the next
so take my flaws
and sit with my faults
because I,
was a poet, before I was myself.
