A Poets True Pain

You will forever be in my words,
Even when writing about others,
There is an itch in the back of my mind,
Your name hovering on the tips of my fingers,
Never again to touch my page,

You're like a ghost of a memory,
Something I try to grasp,
Yet always slipping through my fingers,
So I flip through old books,
And read my old words,
Just to remember the details of your face,
So I can hold onto you a little longer,

As the details and memories fade,
This feeling stay the same,
I have to think they will never go away,
You had this way,
Of making me hold on,
Even when I knew I had to go away,

I think maybe now I know,
A true poets pain,
Of deep emotions spilled,
Across empty pages,
Words scattered as tears shattered,
When you lose your love that's true.
