I listened to that song
Read the lyrics a couple times
It was a good suggestion
I can see
How it would make you think of me
I'm manic today
All over the map
My compass is depression

I can't trust my pen
It might be a pistol
Shooting at you
With words like
I love you
I need you
I miss you

I can't trust my pen
It might be the betrayer
Revealing too much of me
I dreamed of your kiss
Just now as I was writing this
You meant it as goodbye
But you've always been
My reason to try

I can't trust my pen
It might be a trap
Lowering my defense against
Believing everything you said
Your blunt words cut so deep
It didn't take long for me to heal
I trust time will reveal
The truth of my love for you

I can't trust my pen
It might be a liar
Swearing my angry words are gold
And disparaging my caring heart
It was hard watching you go
And it's agony being apart
Someday, I know
You'll let me come home

In 2011 I wrote a collection of 21 poems titled Want. 5 apiece in the voice of 4 characters; She, I, You, and Him. You and I are in a flagging relationship. I is in lust with She. She wants to be with Him, and Him is a bit oblivious to the whole thing. This piece is in the voice of She written to I.
