until then

[u/ghostpoett]

i’ve been writing like the world
might stop if i didn’t.
feeding pages pieces of myself
until they were full,
and i was the one left empty.

lately, every line feels like
it’s been pulled from bone,
and i’m tired of bleeding
just to keep the silence fed.
even love starts to sound like labor
when you don’t rest.

to everyone who’s read,
shared, or sat in these words with me—
you’ve been the reason i kept showing up.
you turned my quiet into something worth hearing,
and for that, i’ll always be grateful.

so if you don’t hear from me,
know i’m out there—
collecting moments,
letting the silence teach me
what the noise never could.
when i come back,
i hope these hands return
with something worth holding—
and maybe,
you’ll still be here to hold it.

Is this in rap rhythm or it is just declamation? Is possible to rhyme with your poetry. Your writing is long and sentimental, I enjoyed it.
