Chronos and music

The clock is a constant reminder of the days
that must be passed before the tune is sweet.
Minor in key, the melody is like a snake that
entwines in all the shell of my fragile mind.
The staccato beat and rhythm in my head
turns into a minum and then a semibreve.
Those jarring notes hold on for oh-so long
and only when they stop can I start to sing.

Penelope's Lament

Each stitch gains across the loom
and like faithful Penelope, I wait.
With each turn of the thread
I think of you and your smiles.
Every second that ticks by,
a beat,
a heartbeat in time.
I gave you my heart as moly
but you were enchanted all the same.
I'll sit here and weave as I miss you
but it all unravels with the silence.

I wish I could think forever
of those times that I laughed,
when you were beside me
and we were smiling as one.

Sadness seems to creep on me
and hang with such a long face.
I only wish that you'd stay
a little while longer with me.

woke up this morning in hope
but reality sat next to me

knocked down too soon
like a skittle down the lane.

i won't ask for much from you
only give me one more chance
to say my last goodbye.

- My legs are weak: Paloma Faith

Christchurch

he took my hand one day and told me
he was leaving
me disbelieving
and i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i
had to let him go.

her name was christchurch, christchurch
and she took his heart away from mine.
her name was christchurch, christchurch
she had poisoned his sweet mind

- with a little adjustment from me, but the original is Paloma Faith's New York. Sorry for not saying earlier! I only wish I could write like her (Lu, i completely and utterly recommend her music)

stargazer, heartbreaker... don't disappear

to find someone you actually love, who'll love you... the chances are always miniscule.



...
i don't think true love exists at all.
