Never Love a Writer

It’s been a hot second since I posted poetry so I figured, why the heck not? I started this poem maybe a week ago and I think I like it. I know I say this every time I post one but this is probably not this poems final form. I really want to be able to put all of the poems I write this year into a book or something. That would be so cool. Anyway, here’s the poem. I hope you enjoy

Never Love a Writer (poem)

You should never love a writer
Because we’re a haunted breed
But if you do not mind the ghosts
Here’s a list of what you need
Of course there’s faith and trust
To let us venture out alone
It’s not that we don’t want you
But there’s a pull deep in our bones
Calling for our solitude
In mothers nature’s woods
And it offers us a peace
That others never could
And then there’s understanding
That demons come and go
But that storms reach us more frequent
Than the sun that soon will follow
We need help finding balance
Between the darkness and the light
So give us open arms
That hold us through the night
If you choose to love a writer
Love us for our now
And we will give love in return
The only way that we know how
We will etch your name in stone
So that you can live forever
Leave no story left untold
of the love we shared together
