I Can Write.

I could write a sad poem
And try to explain
How my head is a nightmare
That won't go away

I could leave them all speechless
With how I've been hurt
But that's a poor use
A poor excuse for my words

I could write something angry
And give it a twist
Talk about the emotions
That I'll never miss

Explain how I'm sick
Of feeling this way
But how can I,
On such a beautiful day?

I could write something happy
About music and trees
Sing something pretty
For the birds and the bees

See, I'm so gosh danged tired
I could use all that cheer
But it'll have to wait
Because you're not here.

I could write a love poem
About you and I
How we rose and fell
In our attempts to fly

I could scream to you
Let's not, though we should.
But I don't think
That'd do any good.
