Notes About The Poem

http://amzn.to/3Or0f6q

Am I still a poet?

My words have lost all meaning since  you left
I've absolutely no more passion and
I can no longer count all the times I've wept

I have more tears than words these days
it's like all my words have dried up
who needs words anyway 
give me liquid courage in a cup

Am I still a poet? I don't know
or did my words belong to you
and you took them as you go

I'm alone now and I ponder
can anyone still hear me I wonder
she spilled all my ink when she left
me standing here bereft.

AM I STILL A POET??????????
