I Would Write You a Song

If only I could
I would write you a song
but all these words
in my head have no rhythm
they slip out of my mouth
or manage to make it
just to the tip of my tongue

If only I could

I would write you a song

but all these colors I feel

have no names for them

when I looked in my box of crayons 

the blues and reds 

were just called Blue and Red

If only I could

I would write you a song

but I couldn't

so I just wrote you

a blog post.
