sing along

         a song i know so well it writes itself onto the bottom of my stomach, chords sounding in time with my breath, my heartbeat, i'm so in tune with this tune i could call it my own i could sing it in my sleep. a voice rich and deep and soothing, words almost heavyhanded in their simplicity and honesty, heartbreakingly beautiful as my limbs start moving and i start swirling and tapping and nodding in time. play me a song that's ingrained in my self, i'll sing you the refrain without a thought, i'll do anything for that swell in my chest and that relief in my throat. i swallow the notes like smooth lemon drops, i bury myself in the sound as it whisks me up up and away. a song i know so well it writes itself onto the bottom of my stomach, a song to my heart.
