Without You
Givin' sweat to hide my tears.
Hidden, muted melodies
Lost behind the years
That I had without you.
Heat risin' from the streets
No sweet breeze comes my way.
Summer won't be my friend
It's loneliness everyday
That I have without you.
And I don't care if the gardens grow,
For no seeds I will sow.
Like you, the flowers will only die in the end.
And I don't want to carry on,
But still I will move along.
And wait for my winter to take me to you, my friend.
And no drink will end these dreams
Still I have one with a cigarette.
No blue sky behind those clouds
Only disappointment and the regret
That I live without you.
And still I live without you.

Quite like that - would love to hear it to music.
That is awesome!
Did you just do that or did you post it to express where you are right now!
Amazing! :)
Thanks, Ruksak. I could actually hear the music in my mind as I wrote it.
I submitted to a blog poetry contest, but I plan to actually compose and record the music to it.
Now, if only I could sing...
Take care!

Hey Diana!
Thank you so much for the compliments! Yes, I wrote it last night for a poetry contest, but as I was telling Ruksak, I plan to set it music. I've never written a blues song before, so it's new territory for me.
Thanks again and take care!
Drake :)
That's nice....I could listen to that with just an acoustic guitar...
Hi there, ZetaZen!
Hmmm... I might try to do an acoustic guitar version of it once I'm more proficient playing it.
For now, I better stick to keyboards if I want it to sound decent. ;)
Thanks for the suggestion!
Drake
I'll sing it for you...just a second...
mee mee mee mee
*sings song...doesn't know melody*
what did you think?
Hello again, Diana!
"mee mee mee mee"
It's always about you, isn't it? (Hee hee!!)
;)
Take care!

Hello Jenn!
Thank you for the compliments on my poem/lyrics! I appreciate the support.
I am just sorry you are going through a depressive period right now. Just know that I can empathize!
And no need to thank me for my comments - Just wanted to assure you that you aren't alone with regrets. That said, I didn't think your post was bad - Just very stream-of-consciousness.
Take care of yourself!
Drake :)
Hello Talking Tina!

Drake
