No such thing as darkness, just the absence of light.
No such thing as cold,just the absence of heat.
No such thing as hate, just the absence of *love.
Trying to explain hate with science
When the dust is kicked up
and everything from the
hidden recesses of my mind
are revealed,
I hear quarter tones.

When my emotions
soar up high into the air and
EXPLODE like firecrackers,
I hear quarter tones.

When my friends look right
through me like a
clear, single-paned window.
I hear quarter tones.

So close are those quarter tones to the true note yet they are never on-pitch.

I am a quarter tone.
Quarter tones are increments of 25 in scales between every note known to man. They are creepy and don't sound good to my ears.

i am unattractive, and i know this.
it's because i can't make myself smile.
it doesn't feel right.
i am unattractive, and i know this.
it's because i can't laugh like i used to.
what is there to laugh at?
i am unattractive, and i know this.
it's because i haven't forgiven him.
i wear the hurt on my face, and i know this.
it's because there isn't room inside for the hatred.
i am unattractive, and i know this.
it's because sometimes i just can't believe that i'm worth it.
You are the gloria
to my hallelujah.

You are the letters
to my language.

You are the melody
to my song.

You are the blood
to my body which
courses through me
and sustains me.
Notes (optional)
No guy and girl would EVER
want to watch a movie that had
no soundtrack
or go to a concert just to see
the people play their instruments.
Yes, you may claim to have music
as your hobby but many others are
extremely passionate about it too.
Without music, what would have
happened to Bach, Beethoven, Haydn,
Scarlatti, Clementi, Vivaldi, and others?
Saying "it's just music" is like saying
"it's just life."
Life is beautiful, passionate, tragic, comedic, playful, intense and even stressful sometimes.
Think about it.
Life and music go hand in hand.
Instead of saying "it's just music"
I urge you to say
**"let there be music!"
We all want that
old-couple-sitting-on-a-bench
kind of love.
A love that lasts a lifetime.
