Weary
Yet I wrote
all my heart owed
All it neglected
Kept
from itself
long ago

In darkness
I delved
into the inkwell
Line upon line
Spelled
all the pain
I felt

Dim light
I saw
what held me in awe
spilling onto the page
Fell
my release
in tears

Shallow
I breathed
A new sense of me
escaping to live
Gives
meaning to
these years
