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…. Jane
