Dissonance Diminished
From the time we spent in vain
There was alot I did not gain
From the breath of mornings kiss
To the taste of evenings bliss
Cast a shadow of formless waste
Hollow shell. A basket case
Numbing touch I've felt before
So familiar. Hard to ignore
The stinging blade of treachery
Has cut me deep and still I bleed
Left to die this form has past
The formless void is gone at last
To seek the truth of love's embrace
And gain respect a name to face
What's done is done it's clear as day
The naked truth is here to stay
It's nestled snug in a bed lies
Disguised as shame a guilt reprised
As the song of life goes verse chorus verse
We bridge the division of it's repeated curse
Play the rhythm strummed to the beat
Soliloquy played out for me (adverse timing 2 4 and a 1 3)
I might be giving too much thought
To something that was meant to be left not sought
If so I'm a loser and tempo is weak
But this song isn't over I still have my seat
I composed this tune as a reminder of me
So you'll sing to my song note for note synchronicity
Maybe I'm wrong and I don't have the right sheet
No it can't be Noone wrote this it's improvisation cant you see?
We did it together as a natural harmonic can, B
Sharp as the blade and flat I can C
Trivial the entendre, cavalier just maybe.
I wasn't trying to be simple or come off as a prick
Though it seems that I hurt you my ego screams "Why me?!?!!!"
The truth is I don't matter as hard to me as it seems
I'm just a fixture in the syntax that has lost its story.
Like a gleam in the blink of an eye shut for good.
I never imagined you would I misunderstood
I lost something held dear to me something that cannot be replaced
I saw it was gone when we met face to face
It was selfish of me to think I had your love it's erased
Never to be seen again on this Earth what a waste
Lost my meaning you up and leaving don't stop reading I'm still here breathing
Your love has rendered me hopeless to no avail....
Or maybe it's me but this poem's gone stale...
