Put emotions into words

Put emotions into words,
So they no longer feel.
Somehow in the letters,
The pain is less real.

Like putting heartbreak on ice,
Pausing the tydalwave.
The feelings are numbed,
When they exist only on the page.

It is only when you read them,
Or you hear them spoken in verse.
That you are able to feel the strength of the emotions,
Unrestrained, at their worst.

So why waste you time embracing someone else's pain,
Is your own not enough?
Truthfully reading the words of others, knowing you're not alone.
Makes the journey of life not as rough.
