Why?

Poetry seems to mend,
The hurt of a broken heart,
And I ask myself, why?
What medicine doth poems, ever impart?

How can the art of rhyming,
Heal a hurting soul?
Can't seem to figure it out,
Though I'd truly like to know.

Can poetry heal pain, distress and brokenness?
It feels as if it does,
But that's only my opinion, I guess!
