Only a Poet

Write me a smile with your magic word And write it nice and wide Write me a whisper, that's never been heard To show what you're feeling inside Write me a tear, as it runs down your cheek Each time that you need to cry Write me strength, when you're feeling weak Or love that will make me sigh Write me the anger, when it doesn't go your way Or contentment, each time that it does Write me tomorrow, instead of today Or maybe the way that it was Write me your heartache, with all of your pain When your heart's been broken in two Then write me the pieces of you that remain For I need to feel them too Write me the morning and evening skies Or maybe even noon or night Whatever emotion your lonely heart cries Like only a poet can write
