I am very empathetic. In 2001, my mom passed. But, six months prior she called me. A very unusual call. I wrote this poem reflecting about that call:
I Think I Just Said Goodbye!©2001
By David N. Lewis
Many thoughts crowd my head.
Too many to count as I go to bed,
But one stands out with a sweet embrace,
The touch of her hand, her loving face.
A lifetime of tears and sacrifice,
Gave her a heart full of joy,
A girl and one boy.
Her husband too, was a great source,
With friendship and love he helped her course.
Her faith in Christ is an example to me,
Of an enduring love that wasn’t free.
When I spoke to her last,
My heart began to cry,
I think I just said Goodbye!

Poetry does seem to help one process through emotional situations; for me, it’s a carhartic means of expressing loss, frustration, and sorrow, more than joy or delight. Which means my poetry is less-than-lighthearted, I suppose. 🙂

I have used poetry to ‘vent’ as it were. Usually when I didn’t want to talk to anyone, but just to capture the thought or emotion and let it go. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
