I feel like a sad song
One that feels as I do right now
no rhyme, no reason; just overcrowded staves of emotional chromaticism making no sense, no reason, no rhyme
I feel like a sad song
One that sounds different than the one I’ve sung for so long, too long now
out of time and tune, out of my mind with more questions than the distant answers found on the worn pages of a fake book, my book of life
I am the sad song
One deep inside the why’s and the what ifs of a book; moments in time, this book of liars, of blue tears
of grace notes unnoticed and songs unsung, a song of the heart still waiting silently to be found . . .

I feel like a sad song often. I guess that’s why they call it the blues, eh?
‘of grace notes unnoticed and songs unsung’ noice. I really love that line.

I think it comes to our life that we feel like a sad song. A feeling you don’t understand why, but only i can say to you, if you feel the sadness think those people whom care for you. Your family, friends and others……

Chapbooks are basically soft-bound, small, sometimes self-produced books. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapbook
You can order them in small quantities, and I’ve seen them in independent bookstores and coffee shops and such.

Sad Song and Elton John are inseperable for me. There was a time where his Sad Song popped up on a mall speaker system, on the car radio, in the dentist’s office, on TV, on fair grounds, really anywhere when I felt sad.
That’s probably why Elton John remains one of my alltime favourite musicians. He helped me through many a sad moment I had as a teenager and once in a while even now.
Sorry, really has nothing to do with your post, other then being a consequence thought or should I say associated memory.
Hope you have something or someone to blow away your sadness once in a while.

That’s a really cool picture on this post.
And your words are haunting. Your book of liars and smoke-and-mirrors thing have always caused me a little bit of concern. Not too much though. 🙂

Your words reach the deepest part of our hearts. This post is beautiful. And just think, by feeling like a sad song once and a while you’ve proven that you aren’t cold-hearted. It’s sounds kind of odd but the sad songs come from the same place that allows you to reach out as a person to those around you and what allows you to cherish memories.
Don’t stop writing.
