Poems have known better

 

Feelings? She never understood the word 

She was all about facts and logic

She believed emotions were absurd

By never accepting her own 

She swallowed hard and suppressed

Even though deep down 

She was way beyond depressed 

 

Such were her ways

Of getting through hard days

Until one dark night

She met someone,

a ray of light 

 

In her night sky with no moon

He brought the sun and made it a bright noon

He saw right through and knew a fix

Said,"Fear not, you'll get through this"

Poems of hope and joy he wrote

In the process of which he made a boat

Kept her on it

Where in his heart it would float

Those poetry hours spent 

That optimistic scent

Of words so joyful

And everything they meant

Touched her soul

She recovered soon

A new girl, as a whole

She now saw the noon 

 

The one who drove away the night, she forgot

Once in a while, he'd be just another thought

 

He says he's unaffected

He says everything's great 

His books grin slightly

His words smile subtly

 

For they've known a lot

And far too well

How while making hers heaven

He made his life hell

 

He hasn't stopped writing, yes

But his hidden poems have seen

Just how depressed

How broken, he had also been
