Adieu Not Goodbye
Why do I grieve a poet without a loss
Did the muse run dry along with the ink,
But to lose this inspiration will cost
literary work will suffer without this link,
how do I fill that lonely empty space
Where we would find those words of wisdom,
blaming myself for being in this bad place
Feeling like a king without a kingdom,
I know I'm not all alone among friends
People with amazing talent,
Knowing that a poets work never ends
The addiction to write will never relent,
So for this lost poet I may weep and cry,
I will always remember it's not goodbye.
