I Want to Write (On This Cold Night)

I want to write,

Maybe a poem?

It doesn’t sound right,

So I just wont show them

On this cold night,

I can’t sleep

Because I want to write,

So I tried writing a poem

Going to sleep is a fight,

Laying here in this cold bed

But dreaming is a flight,

When I’m asleep

I’m wide-awake

Nothing comes to mind

Because I want to write,

I just wrote you this poem!
