Hurtache

~

happy music is not for me

I need angst to stir my gut

to feel real pain and tears

from love and loss and lust,

there has to be some damage

a casualty crying out from

the wail of a guitar’s strings,

I need emotion spent

and left lying at my feet

in total submission,

happy music is not for me

I feel nothing
