Trusty Chords

I am not going to preface anything I write with an explanation. A lot of these words would work well for various interpretations, so I will leave that open. This one is pretty straight forward anyway I guess.


So much of my life sits on the chord

The discord

the melody 

the lyrics to the song that constantly flows through my mind.

The strings

The strings call to me

With a rhythm and a flow I couldn't hope to replicate.

The drums

They beat within me

Breathing for me

and giving me life.

The songs sing for me

the words that I feel,

but can never say.

The simple rhymes 

that magically take

all of my pain away.

And to these songs I owe everything.

They are only words to a rhythm 

the strum of chords

the beat of a drum...

but they take hold of my heart

Who knows where I would be without them

The silence is the only sadness I cannot face.
