When I write, I have to push my friends away
for no way do I want them to see my fury
for they will never understand the passion within
and the pain of my broken heart, does cause me

For I am Poet and proud of that
and no matter the retraction, it is my art
but time and stars have told me to leave this wonder
for I am called again to another art to ponder

This is not a goodbye
just a sweet retreat
to my love of loves
that I will never repeat

So glory to poetry
for I am called
and blindfolded I die
with my back to the wall
