Dear Ben, (Ben Hancock)
Not one person, could you offend
What can I do to make amends?
I'm sorry i was out of whack
ANYTHING to get you back?!
Your poems, they never failed to cheer
This cold cold heart, you very dear
A light's gone out without you here
Your poetry has touched my heart
A blend of shades, both light and dark
Please don't sacrifice Your art
A 'Fresh New Start' is what You need
Just come back, I beg and plead
(to Poetry)
I'll never darken your doorstep again
