I wrote a poem for you

I shouldn’t have said it.

I wrote a poem for you

No one has ever read it.

I wrote a poem for you

To take with you-

-You haven’t arrived,

-but like the rest,

-You’ll go.

I wrote a poem for you

I just thought you should know.

I’m all black inside

That’s without doubt.

I wrote a poem for you.

I had to get it out.

I’m all alone,

And that’s without doubt

I wrote a poem for you

Because you’re not around.

I wrote a poem for you

-Never put pen to paper,

I keep telling myself

I’ll just do it later.

I wrote a poem for you

While the curtain was closed.

I wrote a poem for you,

While you played with your nose.

But it doesn’t even matter,

Cause you’ll never read it.

I shouldn’t have said anything.

Cause you have to see it, to believe it.
