Musical Shares

When your conversation stops
So does the music that plays within my heart
The muse that soothes my very soul comes to an end
The atmosphere is quickly tainted
With anger, frustration, and fear
So part your lips and play a song for me my dear
Just speak a word, and slay the beast within

I could be the first to speak, but my words are often shackled by pride
So once again, I let stupidity get the best of me tonight
I played the role of the peacemaker, once too often rejected
I've tried on his garments many times before
Only to find myself emotionally exposed and spiritually naked
I'm not so sure I like his style of clothing
My heart doesn't want to wear that brand of pain anymore

So, place a coin in the jukebox for me, my sweet
Part your lips, and just speak to me
I don't like the song that I've been hearing
Silence is the most awful sound played in any key
So part your lips my princess, and play a song for me

Whenever the music stops, the non-verbal contest begins
But somehow, I'm always the one left without a chair
No music, no words, no place for my emotions to sit and rest
Play something for me,
Part your lips and play a sweet melody
Will you trust me enough to open up and share


To My Princess,
