musical puns.

i have looked for you.
but like a bad key change you're not necessary;
the sound of my name would be better without you.
maybe you have been placed in the wrong spot,
maybe you were an accidental.
or maybe you're just a bad sound
on top of the sticcato lives that you reside with.
i will keep watching out for you, so you don't mess me up.
i won't give you the chance.

x marks the spot.

you are not interested.
i am not what you need.
i am simply the distraction from reality.
i am the fine line between what you want,
and what you have.
i am the x marking the spot,
only standing on top of the treasure.
the map has led you here.
i am the sign you have made it,
but i am not what you have been searching for.
you will be able to settle for knowing where the treasure is for a while,
taking comfort that the x will always be there to help you find it again.
why are you only here when i don't need you?
why can't you listen to me when i do?
why have you never gone out of your way
to hear me out,
to let me share?
you have turned your back right when i needed you the most,
and have not shown your face since.
i'm getting tired of looking at the back of your head.
but it's all i see anymore,
when what i need is for you to just turn around and face me.

i am not connected.

here is my hand,
it is empty.
i have reached out for you many times,
only for it to return lonely again.
here is my mind,
it is racing.
it will not stop thinking of you.
my feet,
they have tried to dance
but will not follow along to the beat of my heart.
and my heart,
it will not listen to the pleas of my mind.
you see,
i am not connected.
not my feet to my heart,
my heart to my mind,
my hands to you.
i am not connected.

what i could do.

i could have given up on you,
i could have let you go
but i refuse to live without you.

i could let you fall,
i could have let you run away
but i refuse to let you go.

i could have spread my wings,
i could have flown away
but i refuse to leave without you.

i could be on top of a mountain,
i could be down in a valley
but i refuse to be there without you.

i could let you go,
i could give you up.
but i refuse to live without you.
