OutOfFuel

Definitely not within 30/45mins. Major mental fog tonight/writer’s block, went back and forth but well over 1 hour for this. Musical note: melody starts A-E-A-A; first four lines harmony are ACE, ADF, ADF, GBE (one of ADFs could plausibly be ACF).

This pause I feel
I’m out of fuel
I’m giving in
To oblivion

Empty cup
Wistful sigh
If I don’t move
I’ll probably calcify

Wouldn’t that be grand?
The statue of a man
Nobody knew

Sold to art museums
Everybody wants to see me
Now

No ears will attend
To the lyrics that I bend
I am the wallpaper
Of mental broom closets

My narrative is sore
From the weight
I load on its breastplate
It won’t swing its sword
Anymore
