Donβt barricade the bridge we built
Your walls of pain
Your walls of quiet
All the things left unsaid
Are gathering guilt
Β
Talk to me
Donβt let silence be a wall
Talk to me
Donβt walk away
Donβt fade into the shadows of the day
Donβt leave me stranded
Talk to me, donβt leave
Β
Donβt leave me in the cold
Adrift in doubt
Consumed by fear
All my words are unraveling
Donβt leave our story untold
Β
Talk to me
Donβt let silence be a wall
Talk to me
Donβt walk away
Donβt fade into the shadows of the day
Donβt leave me stranded
Talk to me, donβt leave
Donβt turn away
Talk to me, donβt leave
Please donβt leave
Talk to me, donβt leave
Please donβt leave
Your poem is complimented well set to the blues. We all need communication in our relationships and when those walls are built failure and unhappiness is ultimately the result.
Well done.
Is that your music & voice in the audio? You’re a super talented writer /artist.
Nooooooo. I sound like a hyena in heat when I sing.
Thank you very much for the compliment.
Thank you, Dragon
Whatever happened to good old fashioned communication?
I need a translator, a dictionary (all sorts of them), a thesaurus, and a teenager to figure out what people are saying these days.
Sigh.
I needed this today ππ½
Iβm glad my words resonated with you, Indie.
I hope today brings you sunshine.
Gorgeous. From a musical standpoint, I love how you consolidate the message. Musical lyrics demand repetition. You’ve got your refrain here. As Dragon mentioned, you’ve paired this perfectly with a blues vibe.
Thank you. Blues isnβt a genre Iβve explored much but after the comments I received I will be trying more.
