I would have said
you write
like I live
as you feel
the notes
you play
speak loudly
I would have guessed
you had less strength
with all those beat-up
rattling strings
second fret
drop-D
fingers entwining
I would have shown
you what it takes
to make me smile
but you need no guiding
the sound
of your voice
resonating
I would have said
many things
but you read right through the lines
I hear
it in you
I hear
it in you
if I could twist
your way with words
there'd be no wrangling
underneath this dirt
episodic
once you've got it
takes control
the song
the words
control
your heart
the words
let go
I would have said
you write
like I live
as you feel
