The Song and You

Bring your guitar out come play with me
Miss hearing you when I strum and sing
I'll play the rhythm you play the lead
My voice alone is a lonesome thing
Remember when we would play all day
Lets find a corner and play anew
We would make up songs and you would say
Love making music the way we do
I can find the words but lost the tune
That part of the song is missing now
Please come and bring the melody soon
Together we can both take a bow
The song needs you won't you come along
If you must know it's not just the song

Personalised song; highlighted by the incompleteness and loneliness the poet feels without his other half. Bitter sweet, haunting, love tohear this put to music.
