Improvised

It's hard to sound
Like you know what you're doing
When you make it up as you go,
But you strum the chords
And you play the notes
In your heart
Like they were already in your mind;
You know. Just fake it.

Play and move
And it might work out.
Let the repetition
In your improvised song
Be the theme.
Let the mistakes in your song
Be the variation,

And make it work.

Try to convey
Your emotions,
But make sure you don't say them
Out loud.

Just play,
And let her sleep gently
While you try not to say
What you're playing.
