writing

you say you like to write
you say it takes your mind away
from everywhere to only here
you can think of love and happiness
even when life is filled with loneliness
I don't know how you say what you say
but it gets me every time
and once you start writing,
your time becomes mine
and I feel connected and far from blue
as you explore
all the different sides in you

today I went to read your page
I read that you are leaving today
you don't even care to explain
my heart dropped and I felt betrayed
through your words I could feel again
when my world seemed to be at it's end
and now you say you're done with this
I guess you didn't care about your fans
your time was mine
and now I disconnect and return to blue
as you disappear
I need a voice to fill your shoes

I sat down with pen and paper
didn't know how I would explain
but something had to voice this pain
and I remember what you said one time
writing is what freed your mind
I wrote and wrote and wrote some more
my hand was tired but I didn't care
I was taken over by a feeling
that needed to be heard and shared
I never thought I had much to say
but there were layers and layers of past years
my time flew by
as I connected to all the colors of blue
and I gave back life
to my own voice, in my deepest truth
