Air Guitar by V. Blakeya gotta admire the disdain
i still manage to muster, or bluff
when ya tell me there ain't no love songs left
in those broken-down hands of yours,
but i guess i can't really blame ya
if ya can't learn to trust emotion
in a world that'll sell ya fifty feet of razor wire
for the price of a guitar string.
but man,
they just don't write 'em like that anymore. 08/20/2010 Posted on 08/20/2010 Copyright © 2024 V. Blake
