Topic: The Other Side

I wrote this poem....
would like to make it into a blues style song.... but can't figure out the music sad yet

I put a couple of chords in here - if i'm not allowed to - just let me know and i'll remove them

Just about a guy that looks into the mirror and....well you'll see

hope you like it

The Other Side

[Em]Tonight I was confronted by a [Am]message  from the other[Em] side
[Em]It said it knew my troubles, and [Am] every reason why  I’ve ever  [Em]cried
[Am]Said it knew the pain that I was hiding, be[Em]neath  my crooked   smile
[B7And ]all  the lost and  lonely feelings, that [Am]haunt me all the [Em]while

[Em]The other side knows the truth,  and [Am] deep secrets never [Em[ told
[Em]It remembers loveless  times with [Am] emotions turned stone [Em] cold
[Am]It knows fears  in my head,  that [Em]sometimes  scream with  rage
[B7]As I cry out for love to  escape from  this [Am] steel like empty [Em] cage

Chorus
[Am]Oh this message from my reflection, as I [Em] look into the mirror
[Am]mired in lyric, yet  between the lines [Em]it becomes much  clearer
[Am]hidden within my inner self, its [Em]always  been my  sweetest lie
[B7]always been my heart’s true passion baby , to [Am]love you or to[Em] die

[Em]The other side sees my demons and [Am] all of the dreams I [Em] chase
[Em]It knows my fears , it knows my hopes  and [Am] the reality I must [Em]face
[Am]And hears the voice inside of me, when I[Em] softly say your name
[B7]When I whisper that I love you,  and wonder if [Am] you still feel the [Em] same

Re: The Other Side

A song about mental demons? As always superbly written and laid out. I can't help you at the moment with chords or a melody but I will give it a go later.
Another cracker Jim.

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