I was going to write a poem

Bay

I was going to write a poem

But I have nothing to say

The feelings that I feel

I've felt them everyday.

 

I was going to write a poem

But then I stopped

Why do I have to rhyme 

every time I talk.

 

I was going to write a poem

And dress my feelings up

Make them sound not so bad

And honestly make them up.

 

I was going to write a poem

So this day wouldn't seem so bad

Even though I know deep down

I'll still be very sad.

 

I was going to write a poem

To say that I miss you

Living everyday without you

Has got me feeling blue.

 

I was going to write a poem

Make it sound thought out

When honestly I don't know how to 

Escape this emotional drought.

 

I was going to write a poem

To say that I am drained

It's too hard to fake

The thoughts within my brain.

 

I was going to write a poem

A story about you

How even on your death bed

You continually pursued.

 

I was going to write a poem

Saying you were gone

Talking about the life you lived

And the legacy you lead on.

 

I was going to write a poem

I was gonna say

I hope you have a happy

Heavenly Gotcha Day

 

I was going to write a poem

Saying that I'm done

Telling the story I hate

Telling it to everyone.

 

I was going to write a poem

But my head just won't relax

I'm getting mixed signals

Should I write or should I pass?

    Because to write from the heart good poet is to correspond with God. Let’s not let Him find us squandering the gift dear sister...
