bewildered that this text
this forgotten scribe
uplifts the feelings 
i try so hard to bury inside

this scribbled stanza
relieves pressure and pain
slowly allowing me to
stop reliving the shame

words once read
in black and white
submerged in emotions
high, light, and bright

letting your painted face
in my memory vault fade
ebbing in the distance
while these words continue to invade 

funny is that our feelings exist
so playful and irrational
yet followed zealously
feels greater than feels, professional
