All The Good Things

they want me to write about good things soft kisses and heart-filled days of loveliness they want me to write of romance and joy of gratitude and laughter of all the good things above and below but I can only write what I know I can write the truth I can write of sorrow of heartbreak and loneliness of betrayal and darkness of growing older but not always wiser they want me to write of good things but I cannot fabricate a feeling I wouldn’t even know where to begin I know we all want to hear of a lover's warm embrace or a friendly face one day I may very well be able to share what a nice change from writing about nightmares I look forward to that day where I can reciprocate and write of all the good things
