Sweet Sad Poet

Sweet sad poet
In your lonely room,
Did you think that your life
Would be easy?
Do words ease your
Gloom?

Do you think that only
You bleed?
Is your life more 
Bleak than mine?
Can you heal a thousand sorrows
With only
Metre, rhythm and rhyme?


Write, write on my friend,
With all your heart!
Bleed, bleed on dear friend,
For only you know where your poem will end
and how your poem will start,
