Am I still a poet??

by Sam Harty

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished about a year ago 1 min read

My words have lost all meaning since you left

I've absolutely no more passion and

I can no longer count all the times I've wept.

I have more tears than words these days

It's like all my words have dried up.

Who needs words anyway?

Give me liquid courage in a cup.

Am I still a poet? I don't know

or are my words all yours

and all spent

and you took them as you went?

I'm alone now and I ponder,

can anyone still hear me, I wonder?

She spilled all my ink when she left

me standing here bereft.
