The Reason Why I Write

a feeling felt

an ache

a longing so great

lost heart

dreams that start

indescribable sensation

building into a pyre

needs, wants

pleasures, lust

wanting to be heard

to be touched

to be loved

the letters for words

sentences for verse

the story, the chorus

the love, the loss

the lines for each beat

each break, each scream

vibrant, profound

lackluster, or dull

with rhyme

uneven flow

tears, sorrow

i write to ease

an empty soul

the only way i know
