Hey everyone.
Here is the first song. I haven't set it to music, I just write the lyrics.
Talahassee is the first song I ever wrote. I started writing these in November 2015 and have kept them pretty private until now.

Talahassee is the first song I ever wrote. I started writing these in November 2015 and have kept them pretty private until now.
Talahassee
Verse 1
She's waiting for him, in the middle of the bridge.
He promised he'd be here, two hours ago.
She looks at her finger
Remembers September
The day that he asked her
And she said yes, he said,
Chorus
Let's go find Talahassee
Let's go start a future
Even if we're not always together
I'll be there
Let's go find Talahassee
Verse 2
She finally gets a phone call
It's from his sister
She says something happened
You better come quick
She drives up to the hospital
Not really paying attention
They take her to his room
And he smiles up at her
Chorus
Verse 3
They talk about Florida
Future house and kids
The beeping getting slower
His voice is getting too low
And he says
Chorus
Go find Talahassee without me
Go start a future without me
Even if you don't see me
I'll always be there
Go find Talahassee without me
Bridge
Old lady in a hospital bed
The room is filled with people she loves
Surrounded by her grandkids
She remembers the boy that she loved
And the words that he said
Chorus.
Okay guys that was it. I'm literally shaking as I type this because I'm so nervous.
Please, please comment and tell me what you think.

Agh! So good, Lilah!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Lilah! This is good! Such a sad story...and yet adorable and sweet at the same time. Excellent work, my friend.
ReplyDelete"She remembers the boy that she loved
And the words that he said"
Awwwww. Sweetness.
And when he tells her to go find a future without him. *sob* You should definitely set this to music sometime. Have you ever created your own tunes before?
You were so brave to share this with us. I know that feeling of nervousness because that's how I feel whenever I share my stories with people...or just my writing in general. I used to feel SUPER nervous every time I'd post something on my blog, but it's getting easier now. Thankfully. :)
Oh my gosh! Thank you Miss March!!
DeleteI've been trying to set it to music but I haven't quite gotten the right feel for it.
I haven't created any tunes before but I hope to.
I know!! That feeling of nervousness is so horrible.
Thank you so much for commenting
