my guitar looks lonely, sitting over there.
i can barely see it now off the mirror glare.
and somedays i can't even stand to look at that ragged face again.
and i didn't get to clean this space, cause i was too busy talking to you again.
and we don't talk about anything, we get nothing said and nothing done.
worst of all, i fear this fall has just begun.

i walk in backwards circles this time, wake up shaking don't know why.
and these nights i think the clock just sits there to mock me,
and my bleary-eyed sundried shadow seems to stalk me.
yet i still can't figure out what the hell is wrong with me.
i think i miss you.

even my blankets grow colder by the hour, as i wrap them over and over their easy quiet power.
the little green numbers pierce right through, reminding me i'm still now warm, reminding me of you.
and that lonely guitar in the corner knows exactly how i feel.
outta tune all the time, maybe i like it better that way.
you know, we're outta tune and outta tone and outta place.
so i don't think i'll ever put my guitar back in its case.

and i walk in backwards circles now, a minor chord no holier than thou.
and these nights i tore the clock outta the wall.
yelled at the angry mirror, shadows and all.
and for the life of me, can't figure out what can never seem to be right.
i think i miss you.

so i run in aimless circles all over again, that's the thing about circles, they don't get you anywhere.
and it's rained and thundered all these times i've wondered why i keep looking into the mirror for answers.
i want to look into a face, feel a real embrace.
i hug my guitar all the time.
and just so we're clear on one thing -
i think i miss you.

i think i've missed you, and i remember i thought i missed you, and i screamed i miss you to the dark, but my shadow couldn't even find me then.
and i whispered i miss you through the sheets, but they just smelled of cold defeat.
i can't find a reason in this glowing shell of a place, why the air's so thick. i know it's wrong.
something's very wrong.
i think i miss you.
you know, i miss you.

joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless...

this was a very sad write, and
very powerfully felt. I hope that
this person in your life isn't gone
forever. I wish for you happier times,
and peace! take care
happy holidays to you.

Such emotion flows here in this river...when the heart is silenced, and the feeling kept from the ocean it seeks.

Well done.
