Painless Image

A Poem by David Elijah
"

juneeighteenth2018. a song.

"
when i imagine a painless life
in a room with walls and sheets of white
you're always laying on the other bed's side
that beautiful head of brown hair dye
is a veil for my pillow yet i
look outside the window and i
notice a little snow outside
i know this can't be the real life
you would never be my real wife
-

all my friends' best friends are dying
and i can't help but think your next
why do i feel like your time is coming soon
i don't know what to do
all my friends' best friends are dying
and i've been crying for them
i don't know what to say or do
now i can't move

i picture two rings on the nightstand
we hold each other with bare hands
and we maintain our pleasure just by maintaining eye
contact
because no movement will occur
in order to prevent the bright colors from
fading by the night
absorbing the light



(guitar chords - 2 chords per line - capo 2)
stanza 1 (chorus): G, G/F#, Em7, Cadd9 & A7sus4
stanza 2&3 (verses): Em7, Cadd9, G, D/F#

Oh this is so pretty. So, so pretty. Suggestion; record yourself playing it and update this with a video! I'd love to hear. I love how people use this site for so many different forms of written word. I love song-writing. I don't think I'm any good, though. Good luck!
