If I Could
If I could just put pen to paper,
I'd make a character, create her,
Send her on a journey,
Have her prove that she is worthy,
Send her far and bring her back,
Save her from attack,
Give her challenges and trials,
Play with her for a while.
If I could just put pen to paper,
I could make her.
If I could just write something down,
There'd be stories all around.
I'd manage a kind of magic,
Tell you something tragic,
Break your heart with words.
I know it sounds absurd,
But I could make something so clever,
Something you could love forever.
If I could just write something down,
I'd write it for you now.
If I could just fill up these pages,
Break these tales out of cages,
I'd make something that can last,
I would find things from the past,
Make a future and a present,
Gift-wrap them, make it pleasant,
I would give you all these words,
I would write away these hurts.
If I could just fill up these pages,
I'd write something for the ages.
