The Guitar Player

I strum these strings and sing these words
In hopes that you will hear
This is the last song I will play for you
Before I disappear

My car is washed and full of gas
I will be traveling afar
The only thing that is left to bring
Is myself and my guitar

You don’t know that I’m leaving you
So please listen to this verse
And excuse my vocal imperfections
But this song was unrehearsed

You realize where this tune is going
And you gently start to plead
So I sing a little louder
And play until my fingers start to bleed

I finish up with teary eyes
And make sure everything is packed
I leave this duo that we had
To pursue a solo act
