Her

One of those sappy, and rather depressing pieces.

from JoeUser Forums

What can I say?

What can I do?

When all my thoughts,

Turn to you?

 

For all this time,

I’ve longed to speak,

But I only listen,

I think I’m weak.

 

I know it’s not,

My place to say,

But seeing you,

Brightens my day.

 

Surely you,

Deserve much more,

I wish I could stop,

But you, I adore.

 

I apologize,

I am a mess.

I don’t want to,

Cause you distress.

 

I’ll be here,

Off to the side,

Don’t you worry,

I won’t harm your pride.

 

I know my place,

It’s easy to see.

This kind of feeling,

Can never be free.

 

So I’ll watch you go,

I’ll stand back awhile,

I’ll watch you live,

And I’ll watch you smile.

 

As long as you’re happy,

I’ll be happy too.

At least as much as I can,

Without being with you.

That's a good one, Zoo. I know how you feel. Trust me. And it sucks. At any rate, I really liked it.

Yeah, always is...maybe that's a good thing, then again maybe not.  It's like one of those paradoxes.  Don't want to see'em go, but they're damned intimidating in some weird way.

Thanks for reading, Roy.

Hey Zoo,

I like this mate. It has a lyrical quality to it. I can almost hear the music too. Nicely done...

Heh, you picked up on that?  I had a bit of a tune going through my head when I wrote it.  

Although, I think I forgot it...I need to keep some blank scales around, maybe I can write a song.

Thanks for reading, Maso.

Of course I did. Lyrics are one of my fortes, even if I do say so myself.

I'll put a tune down for it and send it to you, if you like. I have a few pieces I think will fit it perfectly.

If you want to, go right ahead.  Wouldn't mind hearing one of my pieces have a tune to it.

It won't happen overnight but I will do it. I might even have a go at singing it too. But I'm warning you, I'm an average vocalist.

I'm below average(although sometimes decent at high octaves, it's weird)...I'll live.

I really do like the way you write.

Oddly enough, a lot of people seem to.  I must have talent.
