Blank Pages

Blank Pages I sit alone in my bedroom Dim as days late afternoon I’ve took up pen, to you to write Oh, how I wish I had a light A bright spark in my mind to fill The pages you may yet read still I’m trying hard to explain I hope you get this letter Jane To begin I know not where At blank pages I do stare In the gloom I see your face And know that I cannot replace The moment that did bring on rift With excuse, expensive gift I need words, simple, plain I hope you get this letter Jane But will the words that do sound right Come forward like approaching night From my heart I need to pour How much you, I still adore To tell of love that in me burns And how my being for you yearns The words won’t glitter in my brain I hope you get this letter Jane In brightness of a sunny day You’d hear the words I try to say I want you Jane, to be mine From now until the end of time Within my ever darkening mind The words I seek I cannot find I thought if we could start again I hope you get this letter Jane A friend of mine has reported By another you’ve been courted Arrangements, they have all been planned And on the morn, you take his hand The sun goes down to night falls bid In darkness all my words are hid They hide in shadows of my pain I hope you get this letter Jane I know that you are not to blame I’d hoped you’d get this letter….
