Can't

 

The night air is filling the room and my bones begin to ache

as I pull my legs up and wrap my arms in a circle shape

how can I write, and put on paper my thoughts tonight

when the pain has crept into my body with such might.

 

Even in the days of sun, the aftermath of pain persists

it invades the body, ever penetrating like a foggy mist

my mind wants to write of my feelings, so strong

the body won’t let me, and the night pain is so long.

 

So I will put off this writing ‘til another day

When the only thing hurting is what to say

and the pen and the paper are most important

it will be a day when I will not say, Can’t...
