care | The Poet Armistead

My dearest Armistead,

Why are you wearing this façade?
You know without me,
You crumble.
We together, as should always be,
Place purple ink lines and curves
On ice white paper,
To form resolution from heartache,
Reason, from mental confusion.
Give up the game!
You need to release those feelings.
Don't bottle up, or ignore me.
The delightful duo, us together,
Make words flow from letters.
I'm disappointed.

You haven't visited me lately,
Have you forgotten me?
How when life throws a curve ball,
We've always written it out,
Iterated logic from feelings.

Please, write back,
It's our survival.
Your sanity, expression, explanation.
I worry for you.

All my deepest concerns,
Armistead

Every time I see you, I see potential, future, I see excellence in all you do. I wish you saw it, I wish you realised. Like the wings of a butterfly, You influence a change in the world, Without you, the world is broken. You offer uniqueness, Something only you give. Your heart is as big as your pain. And you're so much stronger, So much stronger than this. Please.
