The Diary

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!
