I Wanted To Write
I wanted to write about wind, but my paper blew away.
I wanted to write about rain, but it's a bright sunshine day.
Thoughts trickle like water from a fountain,
I cannot catch the perfect thought to begin.
I wanted to write about you, but you didn't want to stay.
I wanted to write about the river, but it was all dry
I wanted to write about the clouds, but none are in the sky
Thoughts coming and going like lovers in my bed
Trying to reach deep inside of this empty head
I wanted to write about your smile, but you only cry
I wanted to write about love, but I feel empty.
I wanted to write about lust, but it does nothing for me.
Nothing triggers an extreme flavor,
There is no taste my tongue wants to savor.
I wanted to write about light, but it is darkness I see.
I wanted to write about peace, but we are at war
I wanted to write about dreams, but you snore
Nothing too fancy, nothing to deep
Got to get it all out before I sleep
I wanted to write about family, but you walked out the door
