If only I could make music notes into words.
I can use words.
My fingers are not adapted to music.
They don’t realize he’s alive
No one understands
This is my home.
I’m coming home.
Am I home?
My heart is in my chest, but
In a different way than it normally is.
It is heavy,
I am heavy-hearted.
I am sad.
I realize that what I’m writing is not bestseller material.
At all.
Oh well.
I’ll keep writing anyway.
Maybe something will come of it
Who knows.
I am tired.
I am hungry.
Such mindless, useless details
But maybe someone will pay for this
Somewhere down the line.
Is that what I am now?
Scratching for money, seeking cash
When I don’t really need it?
What do I want money for?
Security?
That means nothing.
Savings?
I suppose.
Later on.
Paragraphs, paragraphs, paragraphs.
Not every sentence is a paragraph, children,
But some paragraphs are sentences.
Aïe.
I’m all shivery.
I miss you.
Yes, you, no, not you – you.
You know who I’m talking about.
The one I want to be with forever and ever.
You are always here, You know that.
You aren’t always here.
I love capital letters.
You can’t tell who I’m talking about, can you.
No, you can’t.
I know.
I know what I’m saying,
Which is a relief,
Because sometimes I really don’t.
Sometimes I really have no idea of what I’m saying
Or what I mean
Or what I want
Or what I need
Or anything like that.
No trust, no certainty
Damned if I do
Damned if I don’t
So do I just try?
But there is no try.
I do what I don’t want to do
And I don’t do what I want to do
But that isn’t always the case.
Why is life full of whys and buts?
There is not nearly enough bass on this laptop.
It’s painful listening to U2 with no bass.
No foundation.
I have a foundation, a base –
I also have a bass. Hee.
They’re not the same person at all,
Which is a good thing in the end.
But oh, I am lonely,
And I am cold,
And you are not here,
But You are.
I’m rambling.
You can probably tell.
There are three yous in this musing –
You, you and you.
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who I am?
Goodbye – you can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
‘Cause I’m already gone
Felt that way all along
