Poetry had once walked with me
held to my heart when I was sad
Helped me mend from the pain I penned
brought comfort to sorrows I had

Poetry watched my heart shiver
gave me a blanket for the cold
Held my head while lying in bed
made me wish to live to be old

Poetry then danced the night away
to entertain this sullen heart
Both cried to the tale, I tried
from life's wisdom she did impart

Poetry was my only friend
as rain poured upon hallowed dreams
Lessened the toll on my soul
lent me comfort or so it seems

Poetry offered me her hand
as we danced around the pouring rain
Washing away in just one day
what poison wreaked from months of pain

Poetry and I laughed to see
what with her beauty she had done
We sat under an umbrella
while we both waited for the sun
