Music: Unrequited

[gamerchick.livejournal.com]

Hi. First of all I'd like to say how much I've been enjoying all of the great contributions that have been made this month. I haven't commented much, but I've been reading and looking at just about everything, and I've gotta say I'm floored by how amazingly talented everyone here is.

And now for my own little contribution. I'm a musician and songwriter, so when I heard about this community I decided to participate by writing a song about my favorite. Well, to make a long story short, I tore out some big clumps of my hair doing this but it still got finished, and I hope that you all enjoy listening to it.

(Oh, and a shameless plug: If you enjoy this song you might like checking out the rest of my music, which is kept over at Beloved Porcupine Music.)

now I feel it, can't deny it
could be fear, it could be love
begging me to let my hair down
help you slip out of your gloves
you've come here to be the only
fleeting comfort I may find
but the whims of every body
bow to duty kept in mind

(chorus)
here's a little bit of solace
that I've begged & that I've borrowed
so today I could be happy
but there's always a tomorrow
I would hold you, I would keep you
but the feeling's uninvited
cause I've seen too much of love here
& it's always unrequited

like the left hand to my right hand
you are always at my side
never fearful, never failing
never hurt to be denied
speak to me in jokes & riddles
speak to me in foreign tongues
I'll respond with weak defenses
still afraid to be the one

(chorus)

so I float now in the darkness
stuck with this life that you gave
seems to me the hardest battle's
to believe I should be saved
cause this war is never over
even though we're out of time
I'll remember, I'll repay them
vengeance at least will be mine

(chorus)
