From one bleeding heart to another

You're not just a

lost and empty soul

longing to feel something

You're a beautiful and gentle soul

with a bleeding heart

You and I are a different breed

You stay awake to avoid the nightmares

I close my eyes to escape the nightmare

We hide acoustics in our closets

instead of skeletons

I know that when I let these

tears of highly flammable liquid fall,

You'll use a match as a pen

to write me words sweeter than honey

and reignite the dying embers

You're a true wordsmith

who bleeds words

You think in poetry

And know the difference

between sympathy and empathy

We survived the war

All that's left to do

is rebuild the town

that was once painted black,

and find that happy place

we writers dream about

With each other's help

we'll get there one day

And know that in me,

you'll always have a friend
