Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I did not write this, but I read it a few weeks ago in a poem site and loved it Finding Myself In This Guitar Theres blood running down my fingers From the strings of this guitar Tears stain it's polished wood As I'm trying to find myself in the stars Looking out this window With my guitar in my hands I cradle it close to my heart Because it is the sole thing that understands It never asks me why Never wants me to explain It simply accepts the strumming That is the symphony of my pain My guitar has seen the secrets No one else will ever see But no matter what it knows It doesn't turn away from me These strings cut my thumb and fingers Bidding them to bleed But the blood and pain is worth it For the few hours that I am free Living in my music Sheltered in the sound It holds me in its tight embrace And picks me up after I hit the ground I see no greater compassion Nothing more heart warming has come thus far As the boundless love and devotion I get from this guitar My companion and my confidante The angel that helps me by The best comfort there can be From something that can't wipe the tears from my eyes I've felt nothing so intense As long as I have lived Than when my fingers intertwine with the strings And we pour out all the love we can give My heart may be bleeding and broken But this guitar will find the glue To put it back together the way it was Before our song is through And as I'm looking out this window Unable to find myself in the stars I look at the instrument in my hands And realize that I have found myself in this By Tatianna Rei Moonshadow Www@QuestionHome@Com |
