break up songs

I went through all the Alanis Morrisette

Nirvana

Violent Femmes

Rodriguez

Arctic Monkeys

I could find

trying to find something that captures like 400 film

the way my insides are twisting, my head is aching, my breathe is slowing

fuck, I even went through some Destiny’s Child, some Beck, even Eminem

but everyone is too self righteous, too angry, too sad, too pathetic, too strong, too extreme to capture on 400 film

they say in the darkest places you can find light

but where is the light in the half-dark lit by my bedside lamp?

Listen

Listen to the sound that comes
From within; the dram that rows
To unblock you ears, listen to the voice
Of the elders whispering to give you wisdom,
Listen to the sound of music

Listen to the sound that comes
From the mountains the echo of the
Shepard’s voice calling his flock,
Listen to the sound of water flowing
From stream to stream to soothe your soul
Listen to the sound of music

Listen to the sound that comes from the sky
The sound of the thunder as it rows to worn you
Of the storm that’s coming, listen to the sound of
The raindrops falling to give you grain
Listen to the sound of music.
