Can I Feed Your Empty Stomach WIth Words. by Nicole Simet

Nicole happens to be a friends of mine and i love the way she writes. She can be dark at times but it just shows a different side of her. In the poem my favorite part is when she goes into the second part with such motivation and how she is telling this person(s) with such an attitude of LISTEN TO ME. Im pretty sure she didn't intend this to be told to an audience but just one person this is a poem of a broken heart and has alot of emotion in it.
