Words Unsaid

I wake up in the night to drink coffee with a spoon
Rocking in my chair and howling at the moon
Watching the stars dance,
On blue waters of crystal fountains
Beneath the shadows of the purple sunflowers
Here I sit awake. Why? When the rest of the world is sleeping,
Dawn breaks on yet another perfect day
And in the rosy glow of morning hours
I dine on a breakfast of walnuts and Californian raisins
And try to dream of sunnier times

My empty head’s so full of words
Words still left to write,
So many words I wish I’d said.
Words still left unspoken
I can hear them screaming?
All the words that won’t come out
Are keeping me awake

But what was once written, has been rubbed out
And life will never be the same
It’s time to start to fill the future, rewrite the pages of my life
And somehow learn to say what’s really on my mind
I know from deep inside, I can only be myself
You’ve had to read between the lines
To know just exactly what I meant
But until then, I’ll just go on trying and
Maybe time will help to teach me
How to speak the perfect words
