I am your guitar,
playing you songs for her
you care so little for me
and you pluck these strings
so carelessly
that sometimes my nylons
give out.

And you just think its so easy;
you, with your floppy hair-
to replace them with new one's
and you think I still sound
the same.

You barely notice
how sometimes
I let you play my
songs for you,
but you think they're yours
and you play them for her,
while these strings weaken
with each melody
and the pain flows deeper
than those dark-brown eyes.

You will never know me
because for you
I am just a guitar
you so carelessly pick-up
and play my songs
you give to her.

That was very good, I like how you compared yourself to a guitar. Very good.

What? I forgot to reply to this one? Well damn... sorry about that. Here's a healthy bump.

Although this is probably belated to the point where it's not true, it's great to see you posting here again. I like and understand the feeling of having your own words and emotions reused by their intended audience, to the point where it feels like you're being betrayed by your own words... playing the songs you've written for him, for someone else. It's rough. If that's the case, you can do better than him.

Lovely writing... congratulations on your singing for a band. Send me some mp3s sometime.

I really really liked this poem. The comparison between you and the guitar was creative and totally awesome!
