song

[arviragus]

It doesn't scan very well but somehow I amused myself. This is a song one character sings to another in the faux musical section of my new play.... I'm open to suggestions. Ideally it should function as a real song, so maybe I should get off my ass and make sure it scans and tracks better. UGH lyric writing is hard, even when you try to do it

It is hard to say what it is going to sound like, since music adds so much to a song, but these lines are quite beautiful:

WITHOUT YOU
I’M AN EMPTY WICKER CAGE
WITHOUT A SINGLE SINGING BIRD
