Let’s keep writing, you and I
While the world keeps fleeing by and by
Pick that pen and start off with my
First page, then two, then three, then fly!
Let that ink on that page glide
Then dive in back to the other side
Where no feeling, no secret you’d need to hide
Bring your soul to life back from when it died.
I see you struggle, I watch you weep,
To them a straight face you must keep,
But not here, let those emotions seep,
Through the pages of your heart so deep,
Yes I will listen, yes I will hear,
Every story of all that you hold dear,
Of regret, of guilt, of acts so queer,
That a laugh escapes the broken tear,
I’m here; I’ll read every word you write,
I can’t speak but I’ll remember all you cite,
And maybe, who knows, I just might,
Pop out these pages and show you the light!
