New Song

It's not perfect. It's not even finished. It doesn't have a title. But it's a start and it sounds okay. Let me know if anyone out there in reader land has any ideas. There's no music -- just a rhythm in my head.

Comment if you care. -- Heather and Ashli


**********

She only sings those sad old songs
Said they always made her smile
Funny thing about sad sad songs
You forget about own life for a while

Heartbroke moon on a rainy Tuesday
Lovers quarrel on a Monday night
She only sings about yesterday
She says somethings just don't turn out right

And she laughs
Like she just gave in
And she laughs
Like she's lost a friend
And she smiles
I don't know why I always cry
When she smiles

She only watches those sad old lines
The ones like Bogey and Bacall
They never even seem to question why
Their lovers never seem to call

Tearswept cheeks on an empty airfield
Muffled words of a wounded heart
She wears her sadness like an iron shield
And I don't know where to start
