I Don’t Write For You

I don’t write
because I can
or to have you
in the palm of hand
I don’t write
because I do,
I write because I have to.
Hunger turned inside out
causing me to quake,
scribbling like a junkie
prepping his next bake –
The high to write
grips my soul
as I begin
to shake,
held fast by
a passion I
never want to escape;
no I cannot put it down
until I have rendered her
her due,
as I slowly whisper
to myself
I
don’t
write
for
you.
