I Love You, My Pen Hates You

I'm beginning to feel again,I don't know what to do
I've shut off for my feelings for so long, I think I need some help
The weird thing is, I had something with me, when I thought I was by myself
I might love you, but my pen hates you

Start my day by picking up my pen and writing my new thoughts
No one or nothing can disturb me
Lately I've been writing less and falling short
My pen is telling me that you're not worth me

I do nothing but write, its all I've ever known
Now I'm always replying to you, when I hardly use my phone
My pen goes missing when I place it down for a second
My pen is telling me that choosing you is something I'll end up regretting

I've snapped my pen in half, threw it against a wall and it stayed
But a kiss from you feels better than when I write on a page
I owe my life to my pen, considering it saved mine
I'm just a poet in love with a mixed heart and great mind

You'll get mad if I write a poem about heartbreak and past relationships
I write because I love it, look at my pad, there isn't a page I miss
My pen has been there through thick and thin
Why should I be made to choose between you and my pen

Why can't I have you both?
I can survive without you, but I'm not sure I can without my pen full of ink
But I want to keep you close
Can I be a Poet while also being your Prince?

My pen is jealous that I have someone new in my life
I can hold you while also thinking of poems to write
I can't give up the thing I love for the person I love
I'll continue to hold my pen while also giving you a hug

I'm beginning to feel again,I don't know what to do
I've shut off for my feelings for so long, I think I need some help
The weird thing is, I had something with me, when I thought I was by myself
I might love you, but my pen hates you
