Well, hopefully this things finished... I've carried the tune of it in my head for a couple of years now... hopefully it's been but to rest this time...

 

 

I-do (4th draft, 26 APR 2003)

 

I can’t write for fear of fright

I can’t fear if I let you near

And I won’t win if I let you in

So, I won’t even try…

 

Call me a loser, call me a fool

Call me anything, so I can be cool

 

Grant me an audience, lend me an ear

It’s not that your special, it’s just that your near…

 

-But you know me, so well

I can’t hide, my soft-thin shell…

 

It’s true.

When I think of you…

 

‘Cause I don’t love you anymore

But I do

…Not understand you

 

Sometimes I feel, I should die…

Sometimes I think, why even try

 

‘Cause I don’t love you anymore

But I do

…Not understand you

 

Look back in the mirror, then turn away

It’s only an image of you, anyway

 

Why must it matter, what they hear you say…

 

Today…

 

‘Cause I don’t love you anymore

But I do

…Not understand you

Well, best to say this first... I think that you meant 'audience', not 'audious'.

 

But apart from that, I can't see anything that needs fixing... If you've got notes for it, this would make an excellent song. Otherwise, it's a beautiful poem.

 

Hrm... can't think of anything more to say, and my eloquence has fled, so I won't bother you any longer.

oh thanx for the catch on "audience." I'm terrible with mistakes like that...

 

as for notes? well, they only exist as in my head...

 

thanx again...

Very nice, rev. I'm going to have to agree with the song sentiment, because it truly reads like a song. It's got the rythm, the twists, and the meter for it. Ever listened to Darren Jessee's solo guitar stuff, or any Elliott Smith? Reminds me a lot of them; you might like their style. I can easily see/hear this as a song with acoustic guitar accompaniment. Song writing is not an easy thing to do, and, although it may not have been your aim, you've got a knack for it.
