I Write

Do I write simply because I need to write, or because I hope someone will listen?

Do I write because writing will mend something broken inside me, or do I write to get things out of my head to make room for new?

I write when I'm happy.

I write when I am sad but tonight I write because I ache.

Not like the ache from applying pressure to a bruise; watching the colors of it change from purple to blue to green.

It's the aching from loneliness.

So I write.

I write to handle the loneliness or the loneliness will handle me.
