A song for no one

(Something I wrote around March 2006 after watching the (soprano) Evelyn Mandac Concert at the Rodelsa Hall, March 18, 2006. And like anything that is written in one sitting, it's very amateurish in my opinion. But I'm posting this anyway.)

I sing a song for no one
For they wouldn't care
I sing a song for her
But she doesn't care
If I sing a song for you
Would you care?

With every word I utter
Are the experiences of the lyricists
Every time I sing, I speak for them
I fade away
And the lyricist takes over

But give me a chance, you'll see
Underneath the lyrics and the music
Is me borrowing the perfect words and notes
To describe how I feel
Look further and you'll see me
Listen further and you'll hear me

A Song for No One

  1. ...still, the poem is fantastic.

    it's the feelings, i think, that's more important.

    than "the right words".

    good day.
