Dear Poetry

You were once a great companion. 
But now, all of my mind has been stolen of words.
My ideas, all gone through.
My encouragement, far away. 
I would love to write a poem about the color gold, and the warmth of the sun on my skin. 
I would love to write a poem about the cold air, whipping my cheeks on a dull day.
I would love to write a poem about the feelings in my heart. 
But you've stolen it all. 
Why have I got no more to say? 
Dear Poetry,
Allow me to let go. 
Allow me to write in peace.
