Dear Guitar
Dear Guitar,
As I'd strike you,
Please play my mind out for the world.
Give voice to that which can only be felt but not spoken;
Make it loud the thought that's chosen the path of silence.
In the heart of your melody,
Uncover that which is hidden here in me.
Even as I hit you hard in muse,
Ignore the pains
But paint my pain with the plain colour of your sonority.
In your sound,
Bring forth my agony
That stem from the realm of love
And the scars from the wounds of trust.
Show my fight against the man I don't want to be
And thee victory I had over the beast called "fear",
Hi, Guitar
I leave them all to you
No words, just the sounds!
