The room silent.
Cold.
Rain falling on the window
I don't mind the rain.
I don't mind the darkness
It's the silence that kills me
My guitar by my chair.
20 frets
6 strings
Life
I'm stumbling down the fretboard. C, B, A minor. My mind spinning and tripping, thoughts rushing
The notes dipping down
And soaring back up to F
And G
My spirit following
And I'm running up the fretboard
The guitar talking for me
Saying things I could never say
Letting loose the storm
Let loose the spirit
Hold that note in the silence
Those frets
Strings
Notes
In my heart
This is me
