It's been a while

It has indeed been a while since I have written coherently about my life on this space. Instead, I have taken to posting lyrics as a way of expressing myself. While the lyrics themselves are beautiful, at least according to me, I can't help but feel that I have cheated by using someone else's words as opposed to my own.

The last week has found me bursting with nervous energy, for some wholly unfathomable reason. Music seems to have the power to calm me down, and extract the nervousness from my body.

That is all. I don't know what else. Also, this is post 100. Yay me, right?

Sonnet 116 - William Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds.
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be an error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

You Belong To Me - The 88

I treat it like a high school dance,
Waiting in the wings for my big chance.
But I would only stare at my shoes
You belong to me, I belong to you.

I could tell an antique lie,
Full of all the things I want to hide.
But that would only lead to the truth,
You belong to me, I belong to you

But I'm lazy and I'll pull you down
Where you won't want to be
And I'm tasting what's pouring out of you
What am I supposed to do?

I could play a trick so strange
Cover up my ears and pray for rain.
But that would only give you the blues
You belong to me, I belong to you
