You are handicapped.
Your heart, it's lacking.
with that hole in your heart
you took your daughter's sight.
you took her heart.
Trapping it in your embrace.
Letting your husband sink into a void.
Where he can no longer distinguish between
the night and the light.
He becomes empty just like you and
soon?
Soon you'll all be like the night
a place where stars were meant to outshine.

Slender fingers the played with soul
Black                                 black   black
            White      White
Tender lips bare a voice bathing my heart
staining it with it's sound
Singing a song that beats the rhythm of my heart
Thump.

                 Thump.

                                  Thump.
With every strum possessed by your sound
my fingers bleed, a pain registers in the heart.
Do you hear that?
Do you heart that? Our music. Our harmony. Our souls.
My sound, my soul, my spirit they're yours.
Why is our music so silent?

                                      you're not mine.
I was watching a documentary earlier this week. It was about a deceased singer. One of the interviews in the documentary was her guitarist/ band leader. As he was talking about her I thought that he sounded like he had an unrequited love. The singer has long passed and had a very eventful and not-so-happy life. I felt that there was a real pain that he had to watch her like this and to still love her to this extent. I don't know if she ever knew but here's my take on his feelings. Try to figure out who this is about! The title gives you hint!

Waking hours
hours and hours of my time
I spent studying you
I knew your past, your present,
and god do I want your future.
You're right in the palm of my hand
but all the time spent hating you
I had no idea
that your place in my heart
was not one
of hate but of love
because if I had to understand you
I had to love you
like you loved yourself
and with that understanding
came the price of my heart.

Helpless
A word whose definition,
I didn't think I'd ever know this well
An anger left unfulfilled
unsatisfied
An anger that inverts
useless
perhaps we all shall know
when this world turns red
perhaps it's too late
orange is just a step away from
red

I miss the easier time,
when life was blithe,
when being guarded and held was okay,
when responsibility wasn't so heavy a burden,
when adulthood was a distant future seen at night in sweet dreams,

Then I woke up,
I grew up,
These dreams became a reality, adulthood a few years away,,
Responsibility my shackle for freedom,
a little bird pushed out, still learning to fly,
When life became based on the consequence of action and second chances too few.
I miss the easier time.

And they stayed dreams
continued to be nothing
nothing but a wish
full of thinking
with no result of doing.

Back to a much simpler time
When the past has passed
past: the present is a future you had only
heard about
past: The future decided on your very back
go back go back go back
You are small you are free
Fly back
far from the future that you seek
