Borrowed Words and Reason

Ironically, I wrote this simple song in 2009 when my ex and I were still in the "mutual interest" phase. He re-inspired my love for guitar/music at the time. Maybe I should re-record it. Or start writing songs again. Or something else creative. I've been wanting to get into slam poetry...

A Time to Let Go

what does my horoscope say today?
trust your instincts, watch your step, follow your heart
there's gotta be a better answer
to the typhoon that just hit my heart

Is it time to let go?
Is it time to let shadows be shadows?
To everything there is a season
let the starfire run and trace
a map leading me home

why do i bother to get their advice?
forget what they say, go for it, give it some time
they're not looking for a remedy
just an answer to their lackluster rhyme

i'm at the crossroads of a new beginning
say so long to star-crossed fate
this is inkheart, this is the voyage of the dawn

Is it time to let go?
Is it time to let shadows be shadows?
To everything there is a season
and while the world sleeps...
this is borrowed words and reason.

  1. I remember you sharing this with me a long time ago. Some of the lines are really memorable. Slam poetry is so melodramatic though don't you think?
