Love to Me

[This is a song that popped in my head the morning of 13 Feb. I'd like to try learning how to use my Macbook Garage Band software to work it up into a real song. It plays in my head, but that doesn't do much for the crowd.

Beats are, amateurishly, indicated by + signs, and the melody should be something akin to Green Day's middle-range rock. One might imagine an emo love song based on AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds". If one dared to imagine. I would also like to imagine it as sounding like a Fastball or Spoon track or a tune by The Postal Service. Until I get Garage Band under my belt, it's just an a cappella ballad by yours truly. Until I go platinum, you can just enjoy it as a poem.]

Love + +
to them + +
is a past + + +
shattered under dung + + + +
Love + +
to them + +
is a future + + +
unspoken on their tongue + + + +
But love + +
to me + +
is nothing + +
without you in my life + +
Love + +
to them + +
is a shadow + +
cast by others' light + + +
Love + +
to them + +
is a beacon + +
unblinking in the night + +
But love + +
to me + +
is nothing + +
without you in my life + + + +
is nothing +
without you in my life + + + +
L0ve +
is a vacuum + +
or loVe + +
is a victory + +
depending where you touch it +
on the line +
of its life + + + +
Yes, love + +
for me + +
is a dream + +
which I can never live unless I sleep +
in your arms + + + +
which I can never live unless I sleep +
in your arms + + + +
in your arms + + + +
BRIDGE BRIDGE BRIDGE BRIDGE BRIDGE
Love + +
to them + +
is a bridge + + +
that looks best when it burns + + + +
Love + +
to them + +
is a current + + +
that frees us from what we earn + + + +
But love + +
to me + +
is nothing + +
without you in my life + + +
Love + +
to them + +
is a corpse + + +
that moves most as it hardens + + + +
Love + +
to them + +
is a womb + + +
that bears the means of pardon + + + +
But love + +
to me + +
is nothing + +
without you in my life + + + +
without you in my life + + + +
L0ve + +
is a loss + +
or loVe + + +
is advance + +
depending how you read it +
on the length of its line + + + +
Yes, love + +
for me + +
is a dream + +
which I can never live unless I sleep +
in your arms + + + +
which I can never live unless I sleep +
in your arms + + + +
