I have a pen, but it doesn't write that well The sploches fill my paper as it mixes with my tears They seem never to end this time of the year But I keep writing regardless I write about your insensitive tone With words that one can describe as elegant About how you would call me forbidding But others dare to say you are undeserving of me And despite the blotches on my pages You have not dared to leave my mind for ages You go in circles and have the audacity to plague my dreams Is this a punishment? where I cannot beg or scream But I must wallow and write with this pen It starts and stops and starts again Been like that for a while Maybe it skips for the same reason you do The paper is an unrequited love The ink begs not to feel its touch But yet it is out of its control, so it stops writing entirely But alas, I cannot do the same with you I cannot refrain from my elegant words Because there is no other way to describe you Your imperfections are perfect to my love-blinded eyes

My Broken Pen
I have a pen, but it doesn't write that well The sploches fill my paper as it mixes with my tears They seem never to end this time of the year But I keep writing regardless I write about your insensitive tone With words that one can describe as elegant About how you would call me forbidding But others dare to say you are undeserving of me And despite the blotches on my pages You have not dared to leave my mind for ages You go in circles and have the audacity to plague my dreams Is this a punishment? where I cannot beg or scream But I must wallow and write with this pen It starts and stops and starts again Been like that for a while Maybe it skips for the same reason you do The paper is an unrequited love The ink begs not to feel its touch But yet it is out of its control, so it stops writing entirely But alas, I cannot do the same with you I cannot refrain from my elegant words Because there is no other way to describe you Your imperfections are perfect to my love-blinded eyes
I wrote this last year when I was despretly in love
