Once again he's found a girl
Once again she's held his heart
Once again he's fallen hard

They've talked for weeks
They've been together
They've enjoyed loves perfect weather

But now she's different

Once again he's clinging for love
Once again she's breaking the ties
Once again she let's him go
Once again he's alone

A blank sheet
Has so much potential
In the right hands it can become so much
Or so little

The color white is empty
Desolate
But holds the shape-shifting transformability
That all humans crave

Because a simple sheet of paper
Can become such a masterpiece
It can be shaped
It can be inscribed upon
It can be changed
And it can change people

A clean slate
A fresh start
Brand new

A blank sheet
Colored white
Awaiting its author’s touch
Or its painter’s brush stroke
Becomes something beautiful...

One last night
I’ll lie awake
And write ‘til my heart’s content

I’ll imagine everything I could be with you
I’ll envision every single possibility

I’ll transfer thoughts to words
I’ll inscribe them here on this blank white page

I’ll tell myself things can be different
I’ll contemplate all the things I can change

Then I’ll return to my clockwork routine
I’ll sleep
And I’ll be back again tomorrow night
