Sing For Gabe

handsome musician

 he was a handsome musician
 but he had an ugly scar
 you could not see it on him
 but you could hear it when he played guitar
 
 naked and nervous silence
 therefore conversation to abuse
 stood between us like a parent
 like a game we had to lose
 he kept an eye on the door
 and his back to the wall
 his walk told of the time it takes for a man to fall
 
 and i welcomed him into my closet
 to meet the skeletons living there
 in my twilight vacancy
 i didn't care
 we knew each other namelessly
 as the rhythm came of age
 he knew me like a blue note
 and the lights went down on stage
 
 he was a handsome musician
 but he had an ugly scar
 you could not see it on him
 but you could hear it when he played guitar
 
 i welcomed him into my closet
 to meet the skeletons living there
 in my twilight vacancy
 i didn't care
 
 he was a handsome musician
 but he had an ugly scar
 you could not see it on him
 but you could hear it when he played guitar
