Hmmm.....

I've been working on a little song. It would be easier if I had the talent to write songs, but mostly this is cathartic. I didn't really focus at all on meter or rhyme or proper punctuation. It is for me and I'll probably be the only person who ever hears it sung.

I have to work these feelings out of my system so I can get back to focusing on what is important.

Spectral Requiem in Bb

So easily spoken
The word that brought my heartache
It slipped from her tongue
Mindless of the effect

One in 150
shattered the peace in my mind
He may never change
But I will never be the same


The horizon leaves me hollow
It turns to bitter rain
I’ll try again tomorrow
I’m not strong enough today

So fervently whispered
A desperate supplication
The soft candle light flickered
Against her almond eyes

“O Virgin Protectress,
Remember my child
in the presence of your own”

Each moment now seems hollow
But the rain will have to wait
I’ll try again tomorrow
I need some help today

Too big to be screaming on the floor
Are you enjoying the show?
Take your advice and disgust
With you when you go.

Because I don’t want your pity
And I’ll not feel ashamed that he’s mine
Because he may be different
But different doesn’t mean broken.

Lulay, lulay
And hushabye
I’ll take a deep breath
And dry my eyes.

I never cared for horizons
And the rain has dried away.
We’ll be alright tomorrow
I’ll muddle through today

Because different doesn’t mean broken.
