The warped strings you play

They sound like the voice of felines

Distorted cries of confusion

Lost in the street, orphaned and alone

And I notice (You)

Waiting, wailing like a dog

To be kicked to the side

When it tries to sing

Words no one bothers to understand

You do it under the guise of a performance, but it’s real.

I only wish you knew (You)

felt you could share your sorrow with me
