Writer's Therapy

Writer's Therapy

Love has abandoned me

in my life so many times

that the only cure to the pain

are in words, are in rhymes

My heart always ends up broken 

Tears fall full of anguish and pain

and when I cant find the rainbow

behind the clouds, after the rain 

I seek refuge behind paper

or my computer screen

attempting to heal the crack in my heart

now resembling a deep ravine

Like blood flows from the veins

my feelings through verses pour out 

until my body feels lifeless and drained

like a long summers drought

Poetry my confidant 

containing so much of my emotion

like a life raft thrown into the waters

saving me from the vast ocean

Written words expressed

a type of healing occurs

I let go of the hurt

as the pain transfers

My expectations are not much

for this feeling may only be brief

but momentarily my cares go away 

my body feels so much relief

learning so much from my own words 

lessons needed so desperately

I gain strength, growth and healing

throughout my writer's therapy..
