Everyone Always Asks Me About You

Everyone always asks me about you, 
unknowingly opening up wounds;  
 ‘It’s more than a poem.’ they say,
as if I didn’t already know that; 

Unknowingly opening up wounds 
festering art refuses to heal; 
As if I didn’t already know that 
I’m consumed to a point I must create;

Festering art refuses to heal;
’It’s more than a poem.’ they say,
I’m consumed to a point I must create;
Everyone always asks me about you.
