Going Away

(Ken Latulippe)

Moving away from a loved one is painful.

The day that I went away 
My eyes of grey 
Clouded up like a storm 
And by god, it rained 
 
My throat forced out 
A jumbled ball of words 
Against my will 
Choked sobs spelled out 
“Please, lord let me stay 
I can’t stand being away” 
 
Gentle arms cut and seared my waist 
A dull ache 
I knew soon they’d be taken away 
Rose petal lips catching each drop whisper 
“It'll be be okay” 
 
The heartbeat I memorized 
Plays over and over in my head 
Beats to the thud of my steps 
That burn a hole in the ground 
The farther that I walk 
My heartbeat, out of sync 
Crushes and rushes at my chest 
Trying to escape 
The ground is a storm drain 
I looked to the sky, 
and god, 
it rained. 
 
The next day the overcast sky 
Looked down on me 
Threatening a downpour, 
The air had cooled without his warmth 
The heavy clouds held back their tears 
As I looked on with empty eyes 
Neither the sky nor i can stand goodbyes 
 
The day afterwards 
My skin had seemed to dry

My Grudge

By Karianne Gabaldon

A depressing piece about someone hating themself so badly that they are their worst enemy and hold a self-grudge. Hurting themself into oblivion. I must admit that this was me until I got help. I am no longer this person due to newfound self-love. I hope those who feel this way get the help that they need as well. I love you and God loves you.

Home Alone

By Rowan Wilton

This song is from the perspective of an ambitious house bound individual who is daydreaming of fulfilling their heart’s wildest desires while enjoying earthly comforts. Though our protagonist has been wronged on many accounts by many past tormentors, there is an overwhelming sensation of bliss captured in the words, and newfound motivation brought forth from the careful contemplation in isolation.

Matters of the Heart

By Brian Hendrix

This one just popped into my head while I was trying to get to sleep. It shares a similar title with other songs, but the lyrics here are totally unique. I like the premise of it and how it turned out. Could fit into multiple genres, depending on any type of arrangement one wanted to put to it.
