Chuck Melugin Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

The diction is fiction......The destination.....destruction.....

Nothing Left

Chorus:

If lonely is a prison...
Lord knows I've done my time
From my lying destination,
To the truth I've left behind

There's another losing diamond,
In every card I'm dealt
I'll be holding on to nothing
Until there's nothing left

Verse:

Every word my mama said
Keeps exploding in my head
Son, it's not too late to turn around

Remembering...when my daddy left
With all those promises...unkept
Me and my old man..... share common ground

Bridge:

Silence is the hammer...
Memories are the nails...
Every path to freedom
Becomes an empty trail

Heartache is the music
Every day... the fear
Too early for confession
Too late to form a tear

Chorus:

If lonely is a prison...
Lord knows I've done my time
From my lying destination
To the truth I've left behind......

John Hamilton August 3, 2017 at 11:24 AM Hi Chuck, I enjoyed this very much, if lonely is a prison...Lord knows I've done my time. This is so well written and melodic I can hear this as a great country song, that's a good sign. Chuck Melugin August 25, 2017 at 10:38 AM Thanks John I so appreciate your comment. Write on! chuck

Andrea Dietrich July 15, 2017 at 6:43 PM Chuck if this were made into a song, it would flow so smoothly with its perfect beat. It's a sad song and would do well as a country tune! You got a type in your last chorus (I for IF) Chuck Melugin August 22, 2017 at 9:58 AM Thank you Andrea. You are appreciated! My best, chuck
