Play the Lonely Guitar (old poem)
But really what do these words say?
And really, do they make the difference?
I could sing them, write them, be them,
But i cannot grant them substance.
Oh to crave to be more.
Is the beating of this heart.
Dying to achieve the core,
And what makes the beat start.
Breathing this breath of air.
Blowing the wind on your face.
I am begging for you to look at me now.
And see me in this place.
Do these words make a difference?
Should i even write them down.
It only works if you listen.
They only smile, if you don’t frown.
Is it worth stopping now?
Will that make the pain cease?
What if i beg at your feet,
And ask you to read them, please?
Will ever i find what i need?
Will i ever be truth?
I just want you to listen.
I just want to influence the youth.
Each morning the sun wakes up.
Each night, the moon sleeps.
The words are creating each day.
And they are all i am to keep.
This soul is crying to be heard.
Every inch of me sings.
I start to play the lonely guitar,
Yet i break all of the strings
