Ink speaks.


If you could only write once, 
what would you say? 
Would you let your thoughts that run deep 
crawl out and play, 
allow the pen's ink
to give all your secrets away. 
Or would you just jot down a few things 
and continue to hide. 
Sit back and 
let the ink continue one's lies.
If the ink was the only thing
to help one read thy's eyes,
What would they say?
Would they brighten someone's day
or fade the colors grey?
You only write once.
Every letter shall sing a song
and every word shall have a story that follows 
along.
