Topic: 1st attempt at writing

You and I were flying so high
Told by you I was your only guy
Top of your voice your undying love
I never saw the steel in the velvet glove

Your eyes lied a thousand times
Your words betrayed your selfish crimes
Whats done is done, can't go back
I guess you better go and pack

I thought you had angel wings
Saw too late the puppet strings
Sharing your love aint for me
go to him, leave me be

Great memories soured and spoiled
Is this the love for which we toiled?
Consumed by rage - system crashes
All I taste are bitter ashes

What now is left but the parting of ways
Good while we lasted - a fashionable craze
It's over and done, don't bother to cry
My love is dead - bye bye bye

Very well written Jamier, the hurt and anger comes though in the well too known story of love and betrayal.

What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: 1st attempt at writing

Thanks Mekidsmom, a bad time in my life but getting the feelings down onto paper ( and then computer ) seemed to help ease the hurt.

Hi Jamier

Seems you hit a chord here.  I'm a member of this club too.  I also found it helped to ease the pain a little by writing a song about my feelings.

Thanks

Re: 1st attempt at writing

Sorry to hear this is a true story for you.  I've found music to be an excellent therapy Jaimer... writing and then singing ... helps a LOT with getting those feelings out.  Keep up with it!  smile

hi jamie, welcome to chordie. if this is your first attempt it looks like we have a lot to look forward to. well done, shame it's due to sad circumstances, but that's where a whole lot of inspiration comes from.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Good stuff !

Yes , I am no different , ive been there also.

Its a hard ole road but it paves the way to learning from the experience.

I liken it to a death ! We have to accept and thread our own path with or without.

Very well written piece.
