poetry i do believe
soon will be the death of me
as it takes over heart, mind, and soul

at my detrimental cost
it's all i ever think about
as it burrows deep to gain control

at this edge of time all i find
is my live as one long rhyme
with the need to stamp on it a title

for all the world to see and read
yes he caved to poetry
and completely lost out on the battle
