You Are Worth More

I’ve lost the light
not seen for days
forgotten words
lost upon the page
with bold letters
standing in the cold
I’m left alone
to shiver – unable
to see my thoughts.

And in the dark I wander
meandering past
these closing walls
a tightness  to my breath
feeling for a switch
to change it all.

When truth
reveals the tears
then the light –
reveals it all.

In the corner
stands a friend
watching from a side
when all the mice scurried
they never left the hall.

And with a hug
they said –
this is worth more
than ten-thousand
words.

And you are worth –
more.
