sometimes pain shakes the ground
beneath you
and you stay up until 4 am
searching for lyrics that articulate the sounds of
your pain
staring at walls full of words
that were once faint innuendos
of past lovers
hearing the comfort of soft twang
in a country rhythm
all in the mind of a boy
who has a heart as deep as the ocean
and eyes full of wonder
that one girl admires
like the moon
admires the
sun
