Ink Like Glue

I kinda wish that I could write when I’m happy  

to go back to these pages and smile between these lines  

but during happy times my pen is dry 

 

maybe I get my ink from the dark  

writing in my parked car  

nostalgia

I come back to this house made of paper only when it gets tough  

roof made of my own thoughts  

same thoughts that make it so tough 

 

but when they collide in these designed lines  

they sound bearable when they rhyme  

they make a shelter for this grime

  

and all those words that would cut so deep  

now like little soldiers in order  

they come running to seal these wounds – ink like glue.
