Expression

A 2 cent postage stamp
Just isn’t enough for me
To send my heart to you.
I’d never have enough postage.
(It’s way too heavy.)
And it wouldn’t do me any good
To pour it all out into a song,
Cuz you’d never hear the love
Tangled up in between the clumsy lines.
You don’t like my music anyways.
(My voice would crack and break.)
I could paint it out on canvas
Bright colors and shapes,
And show you my love in abstract.
No, you don’t understand the point in art.
(Paint’s too expensive.)
I don’t know if words alone
Would be good enough for you,
But here I am trying in vain
To say “I love you”
And tripping all over myself again.
(I’m so clumsy with love.)
