Dark Room

Inspired by Figuring by Maria Popova. Still working on it.

Wish you were here cause I got something to show you
I was never one to describe things very well
It’s not enough to just memorize the moment when it
feels like a crime to keep it all to myself

I’ve got a mind and it’s a camera obscura would you
even be a little curious to hear?
cause heaven knows if it’s a story worth telling if what
I’m saying’s just a little too much to bear

Wish I was with her when all I had were words to offer maybe
I could have let the silence speak for me
Wish he was there when his chords had finally struck me then he
could have helped to complete this melody

I’ve got a mind and it’s a camera obscura should you
ever question what is happening inside
cause heaven knows when I put pen to the paper
if I alone can bring the images to life
or will they only fade away in the light?
