My life resonates within the strings of A minor seventh
A tone which gives me a purpose
And a chilling down my spine
As it echoes through my fingers
up my arms
through my chest
and into my heart
I forget
At least, I really try to. It's been so long since I've touched a girl.
I only remember
how much I wanted
somebody to experience life with
But
How can you experience life
with somebody whose life has already been
completely changed by people you've
never met?
Each string pulls me in closer and closer
to complete each set of moves just as I lean in
and kiss you, ever so slightly.
And the burning of
sensitive flesh, just as if it were the first time,
marks the fully fleshed out chord that rings
between our heartstrings until only the memory
of such a beautiful sound
is left and
never forgotten.

Thank God I made it through such a tough time. I struggled and struggled within myself, and I pulled through. Of course, such is the same with other people my age and their relationships. Eh. I'm better now. I know now who's making the right choices, and who is left to blame.
