The Blues In Reflection
The irony of life sometimes; it has me asking why.
The after affects of a medical treatment left me with a deviated tongue;
The term deviated in its self is to some degree ironic.
In the end it is sometimes difficult to understand what I say.
Once in a daze of stumbling blind love;
I spoke my feelings; and was kissed on the check
That was the tenderest thing I ever experienced
Without verbal expression how will I touch love?
And my almost friend that I tried so hard at first;
To keep at a distance; I cared so much about her
But life threw a curve ball; and now I couldn’t even;
Tell her how sorry I am even if I had the courage to try.
And my fingers; with their little suckers;
That makes my guitar; do things;
I’m not even sure are coming from me;
I won’t be singing my words as a lyric
It’s alright because I was never coming out anyway;
My whole life is about being undercover; by choice.
Someday in some other life maybe; I’ll show people who;
I really am; but not here; not today.
