I can't tell you,

 

but I will,

 

that time and time and time yet again,

 

I've forgotten a lyric important,

 

because I didn't have a pen! 

 

I take myself away to solitude, 

 

not surrounded by loved ones or friends, 

 

My kingdom....oh my kingdom for a pen.

 

The lost lines, lost to time I could make up but would only pretend,

 

All because at that time I didn't have a pen,

 

At times I would sit and furiously think about a sentence but the pen had no ink,

 

A blink would have reviled a chinck in my armour,

 

If I could write it would make me so much calmer,

 

Use my written word in an attempt to become a charmer,

 

In a letter, my words I would send,

 

But allas, no suitors for I don't have a pen.
