[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Dark Ink”

Dark ink, dark as the coming night, Flows down this piece, with no delight, Scratches the paper and forming a river, While my emotions start to shiver. So many mem’ries I wanted to put inside, How much I fought for us, how you left me aside, That I can’t forget you, even after time has
