For when you can't express yourself <br />And words come hard to you, <br />The feelings you can't capture <br />And you don't know what to do, <br />While rhythms and the melodies <br />Are lost in clouds above, <br />If you cannot write a love song then <br />You've never been in love. <br /> <br />For if your heart just can't be touched <br />Emotionless like stone, <br />If only joy does fill your soul <br />You've never been alone, <br />If all the lines just fail to rhyme <br />And each one seems a strain, <br />If you cannot write a love song then <br />You've never felt the pain. <br /> <br />When the page is blank in front of you <br />And you don't know what to say, <br />Just spare a thought for those of us <br />Who've always felt that way, <br />When years have gone with chances passed <br />And dreams have floated by, <br />If you cannot write a love song then <br />You've never learnt to cry.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-cannot-write-a-love-song/
