Here I am
Writing another song for you
Black inked hands
Blistered fingers plucking steel strings in hopes of making something intelligible
And melodic
Take it all in
Think back on yesterday
How we watched the stars
How we sang so loud dogs howled
Convulsing I love you’s on sweat-damp sheets
A drop of blood hits lacquered wood
I wince and rest a moment
My brain aches
My hands hurt
I haven’t slept in three days
But it’s for you
Just to make you smile
Because those rosy curves are best kissed when pulled up at the ends
Think back again
Take it all in
Giving me a moment of my lost time
Take it all in
I’m writing again
Hoping you hear this lullaby
It can’t tuck you in
But it can tell you that I love you
So listen over and over again
That I love you
Here I am...
