Poetry My Lover

Poetry, My Lover.

Remembered ways of yesterdays
and nights I spent alone.
Longing for a love someday
that I could call my own.

I heard a song, can it be wrong?
Like whispers in the wind.
You came to me, I came to see
you’re poetry, my friend.

To get me through I turned to you,
my tears they fell like rain. 
I know now some way some how
I’d never known such pain.

I struggle still, I always will
at least from time to time.
In sometimes dreams I hear the screams.
The life I lived in rhyme.

Then came you to see me through
you loved me like no other.
It came to be I came to see.
You’re poetry,my lover.
