I don't know whether getting comments on my poems is a healthy pursuit but it's got all the feel goods
---
Do I wail into an empty space Have invisible tears staining my face Silently scream, never heard Writing word, after word, after word Is the attuned ear within me Myself I need to stop, to see No outside force to heal my woe Yes, this I know, I know, I know But the comforting feel of another soul Makes me forget myself, forget heavy toll I'm drawn in, perhaps brought into view Briefly healed when hear, I want to know you, you, you

indeed the comforting soul indeed....and so many times i should have just added another cat...but this struggle in introspection is so familiar and speaking of a familiar, i know why a witch has one...that cauldron of introspection holds a lonely brew

Wonderful comment Timothy :) I did have 2 cats but now have a lap dog. When I was out last Friday I was stopped by a lady admiring my outfit who said I had 'witch on vacation vibes' haha I had decided to wear a tasteful cloak :) a dog that follows me everywhere and jumps on my knee the minute I sit down is nice. He was a worried little face (rescue dog) until he's all snuggled up with me - he's a bit prone to introspection too
