Oh baby your words are so silent
Is there nothing you'd like to say
Ive been missing everything about you
Please don't throw us all away


I need to feel you close to me
And i know your not feeling the same
How can i make you understand
I just want you to call my name

I am here if you want me
How much longer i cannot say
This silence is killing me and
I don't think that i should stay


But to leave would cut me deep
down deep to the soul of me
I beg you please see who i am
before your too silent  to see

(this is the chorus)
Oh baby just whisper my name
no matter how far i will hear
speak what my heart needs
Whisper and i will be near.

This is my first attempt at a song .I don't hear any music in it . Feels like a poem to me.But i wanted some feedback to see if I wanted to try another one. Thanks For reading it.

I think this would make a fabulous song, Suzanne, a jazzy-bluesy one comes to mind!

I agree..a ballad maybe..lovely < !signature-->

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

I hardly know anything about songwriting, but I do believe you could easily turn this into a song. I have develloped the habit of listening to the meter in songs and found all verses to have the same meter and syllable count (like 8-7-8-6, but persistent throughout the song), while the chorus differs.  Try writing new words to a melody you love and you'll see what I mean. (I tried it a couple of times and it's fun!)
Perhaps we can ask Nan to do a workshop on songwriting in January?
Anyway, I truly enjoyed what you've done thus far.
