Poems On An Empty Page Lyrics

Spotlight on a subway car

As it pulls into the station

Doors open up

People spill out

My poems are there to greet them

Cherry whiteboards with sunny phrases

Like, hello you, happy chappy

Everyone's stuck in a maze

Oh, and by the way

How's your morning been going

But there are no poems to tell someone goodbye

When you've grown apart, there are no words left to say

And the saddest poem is the one that I can't write

So I'll just leave this empty page

Jenny exits the subway car

And she sees the latest poem

She stops to think

What life would be

If she could be a poet

In the city, she thinks of me

As her mind begins to wander

She chats with friends

Catches her breath

There are meetings getting started

But there are no poems to tell someone goodbye

When you've grown apart, there are no words left to say

And the saddest poem is the one that I can't write

So I'll just leave this empty page

Doors close on a subway car

As the workday comes to an end

The cheery whiteboard

Jenny passed before

No longer has poems to share

She stops to think of the day gone by

As she takes a seat at the back

Alone it seems

She starts to dream

As her world fades to black

But there are no poems to tell someone goodbye

When you've grown apart, there are no words left to say

And the saddest poem is the one that I can't write

So I'll just leave this empty page
