Sorrows of My guitar



The sorrows of my guitar
Play me a song for agitation
For she seems to be my only companion
Lurking around in the shadows where I thrive
No content, no complaints, no complacency
Just me and my romance with her.

The sorrows of my guitar
Play me a song for loneliness
She is no one with many faces
Ever present with me where I stand
Her cold hands around my heart, I feel her
As she consumes me wrecking all my defense I stand alone
She is here.

The sorrows of my guitar
Play me a song for anguish
For the end seems near but, perpetuity is the desire
The flames and hunger for more
Lies on the ashes of love lost and not to be found again
Forever lost in time, alas, the romance with life is about to be just a memory.
