Sorry Theres No Love Song

I never wrote a love song, Penned for anyone to sing, I hope I’m pretty good with words, But music’s not my thing. I cannot write a chorus, Cos I don’t know how it goes, My words are not for humming, That’s not for my rhymes or prose. I can’t compose a melody, Or write a middle eight, A ballad isn’t something, I could ever contemplate. I can’t play music either, I would never hit a note, If I was ever asked to sing, I’d go and get my coat. I cannot tickle ivories, Or draw a treble clef, If I attempted songwriting, You’d think I was tone deaf. There’s silly ones, romantic ones, Ones written to right wrongs, But never me the lyricist, You know I can’t write songs. A skill I sometimes covet, Though I can put words in rhymes, Is writing just one special one, I think of that sometimes. Cos if I had the skill set, Like composers always do, My one and only love song, Would be one I’d write for you. I’d tell you what I think of you, And how you make me feel, Don’t worry though, it’s not a thing, I’m about to reveal. Cos music doesn’t come to me, The way that poems do, And you know for them I need, Inspiration and it’s you. So sorry there’s no love song, That has come into my head, I’ll stick to writing poems, To say “I love you” instead! 3 May 2021
