Each chord played is agony,
Running my fingers over the strings,
The strings that feel each and every scar,
Scars cut oh so deep into my heart

Raw emotion etched across my face,
An indescribable pain that can be heard in each quiver of my voice,
The sound is of the song trapped in my soul way below,
Every echo from the speakers is a call from my forever aching heart,
A heart torn apart with one wish to be whole

“Hallelujah” rolls from my lips as a whisper,
Faith placed blindly in a god that I don’t believe in,
I write down all I can,
Bleeding heavily into these empty pages,
The music that plays is the only way I can communicate how I’m truly feeling,
A desperate attempt to be in the comfort of another

As I continue to play the tears stream uncontrollably down my face,
These eyes once blue have faded to grey,
Words that have no meaning,
Dreams that aren't worth dreaming,
Facing a dark corner just screaming

Exhausted,
My heart still barely beating,
I drop my guitar,
I know I’m defeated,
Succumbed to this damming feeling
