I can’t sing
I heard your music the other day
Your melodies lift me
I listen to what you have to say
It makes me melancholy
Because I want to join you
But I can’t sing
Your words wrap around your guitar
Creating eddies in my life
The gentleness of your thoughts move me
The vibrations make me want to write
The emotions make want to sing out loud
But I can’t sing
Each note chosen carefully
Every word crafted in love
I listen and long to sing with you
I listen and want to accompany you
But I can’t sing
With your music you create other worlds
With you music you validate me
I sing to you in my dreams
But I wake in emptiness
Desperate tears run down my face
I can’t sing
