poetic melancholy
2005-05-19 7:32 pm

its a contemplative soft sadness, one ive felt most of my life / its not even from someone playing my heart-strings / although i do love a good love / it just exists within me, always there, quietly knowing, whispering in my ear / guitar strings resonate with a depth of my spirit that thought doesn't touch / i eat, breathe and shit feeling God at my heels asking why / but i havent a dime to spare today and mexico is calling with rays of glittered graffiti / when i think about her, the grass is faded by the sun because the photo was born two decades ago / let it go, let it go, its not fashionable to fight / and what do we do if there is nothing left to fight for? / when things are good enough to look the other way / the sharks know how clear clean salt water is Truth / let those words roll from your lips, i want to hear you say it
