Poetry...?

So I am in no way a poet nor do I usually right poetry... but, I realized that a lot of the unfinished songs that I have that have no melodies are more read like poems.
Isn't that really what music is? Words in a certain format otherwise known as poetry, set to a beat and a melody?
I'm not quite sure.

Anyway... I thought I'd share some of my unfinished songs poems...
I hope you enjoy them.

Shadow Friends

With little light above my head,

I can still make out the shadows that reside on the wall.

They ask me how I am.

I fail to respond.

These shadows are patient.

Aware, even though the light is no longer present.

When the night is long, nothing is clear.

My shadows end up making good company.

At least until dawn.

Until Then

Little did I know how this would be.

I must have been blind, because at last... I can see.

Things I didn't notice, things I couldn't feel.

Endless days spent wishing... wishing it was real.

Time turns and rain falls.

Life blinks and birds call.

The night lasts so long.

What is right? What is wrong?

Can we light a match on the pictures in our heads?

What's past is past. Sewn and stitched with threads.

Until night turns to day.

Until hearts aren't used for play.

Until hope is recovered.

Until faith is discovered.

Until we once again hear sound.

Until love is finally found.

Until then...
