Feelings are good inspiration,
But I do not write such poems
To declare my days and
Tomorrows to be riddled with
More ‘hell’ than yours-
But, I suppose,
Some words have more than one meaning;
Most people have more than
One demon,
I’m just happy to
Wade through the fiction
For us both,
Hopefully finding some nice words
To make us both feel better;
Perhaps a nice rhyme, so you
Can double up on your mistakes
And I can double down-
Writing is a gamble after all,
But it is not your means
To my end.
