I am what you'd call divorced.. Oh the struggles I've been through. But now that it's all behind, I find I don't miss you. Material things meant nothing. I was quick to let them go. Where I was headed, at the time, I only need dough. Yeah it's true, I got a few bucks, but is it ever really enough? The only way that I got that, was to play dog-gone rough. Now that all's been said and done, and the past has become a ghost. My guitar, ( Martin D28 ) Is what I miss the most. The one thing that I loved, I played that guitar every day. I miss thoes low, sweet sounds. And so you kept it, to make me pay. You knew that it would hurt me, and Mr. A-hole you were right. I can't afford another one, and I'm glad you're out of my sight. Oh, the words I would have for you, and I'd sink my foot so far. But I would say the nicest things, if you'd give back, MY guitar. If you can't make it so, you need to let it go! |

a beautiful expression of your bottled frustrations! i wish i knew how to play a guitar, but i feel bad that you know how to play and you are guitarless. i do hope his karma kicks in so that some justice is done here. you should start a donation fund to get a new guitar! "please donate to the Men and Women without Music Fund! it's a tax write off!" =) good luck, and great work. i hope that maybe this will go from being a poem to being a song someday soon. Everyone's got their demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

Thank you Ethan_Halo for feeling such compassion for me. It is a hurt that I have to live with, but as you said maybe someday my poem can and will become a song. I may never own another guitar but I sure do have sweet memories of my Martin. Kitty If you can't make it so, you need to let it go! |

Kitty It seems that your guitar was very important. I sure you played sweet music on it too. Maybe if you confront him, maybe you guys can work out a deal for the guitar. Ya know, men do not like to see ladies cry. Put on a good one, you may get it back. It appears that he has no use for it. Did you take something that he valued. Offer it in return as a good faith gesture. Garfield |
