Based on going to a poetry creating event and seeing an old manual typewriter.
I have an old royal typewriter
With the letter “E” missing.
Sometimes I take it out in the dark
When loneliness makes me write.

With the letter “E” missing
Some words come out wrong
And some just right
When I pour out feelings.

Sometimes I take it out in the dark
And write by candlelight
Seeking comfort from
The shadows I am chasing.

When loneliness makes me write
I realize the past never leaves
When I carry it around like
An old typewriter with the “E” letter missing.
