i wish you were my bass, not just my friend

my guitars name is layla

for the eric clapton song

because i love it

and i love her

sometimes i wish she were human

maybe she would sing

and i could speak to her like i do now

except get a word or two

in response

anything

im lonely so i play

until my fingers ache

until my body decays

i play i play i play

im starting to get better

nowhere near enough

i have dreams of grandeur

but im still piss poor

thats alright

i'll play and play and play

i dream all the time

its in my nature i suppose

i dream of a time

where i'll shine and glow

so i put on my headphones

turn up the bass

my fingers bleed

i promise ill leave a trace
