The Guitar
I am beautiful draped around his shoulders supported by him but I have no soul.
He gives me life He is my Frankenstein I am always available Receptive to his touch responsive to him.
He explores himself through me He gives me a voice and I sing for him He made me this way, hyper sensitive one false move and I must punish him I can do no other.
I cannot forgive him but I bear no grudges I am always the same his battle is with himself his shame.
He can't sweet talk me I respond to his feel With me he gives himself away I help him heal.
Together, we are more you like, you adore after, encore I am left on a stand. I lose his touch we hear your hands.

The Guitarist
I step on the stage my mistress awaits my calm is my rage our audience anticipates.
Draped around my shoulders I carry her with ease My fingers tease her vocal chords and she starts to breathe.
I press all her pedals and stretch all her strings. I play with my plectrum and she starts to sing.
Distant yet close confined yet free I breathe and liquify my cool is my heat
my sensation exquisite.
My fingers are fire touch her and she burns our heat singes you as my attention turns.
Faster, I freeze. Her shriek strikes my soul I blink, c'est fini This rock sometimes rolls.
I embrace her renewed after our tiff forgiven, in my heaven my kiss heals the riff(t).
