Silent screams and silver strings
Like ice were her emotions that course through my veins Her composure was flawless, yet drove me insane Her mind was racing with many emotions I felt every inch of what may have been notions Of sadness, remorse, anxiety and nervousness Which waves of these feelings I could not suppress I took upon the instrument that gave me my wings And played her those chords and calming melodies She asked me to sing, I sang from my heart My hands were numb, my mind fell apart Her gaze never left me, but my eyes were closed In a different world where the words seemed to pose A meaningful picture that related to life Between us and apart, in darkness and light These words that I spilled felt much like the truth In which we take for granted in our early youth And once I was finished, my head seemed to spin My eyes gleaming with tears that I hid hard within The ending of beauty, the killing of sound The feeling of floating, not touching the ground I glanced at her, slight smirk on her face She reached across the 6 string with a warm embrace Of fingertips upon neck, lips then soon met She kissed me so softly as if I had set A time bomb of emotions within her, a glimmer of hope A spark of true happiness, a way she could cope With when I'm away and she finds herself She'll remember the songs I sang with the help Of those feelings inside, pent up in my heart And then how she breathed when our lips finally part She put on that front, that person she's been I asked "what was that for" she said "cuz I can" I smiled and thought, if a girl could do that Reach across my instrument that sat on my lap And kiss me with passion, numb what was once pain Kiss me with knowing the songs that I sang Were true in their meaning which came from my heart And painted a picture, a canvas of art I've waited for years, but years don't seem far For a girl who would kiss me over my 6 string guitar.
