#100WordSong With @TLanceB ~The Elephant

This weeks song choice for 100WordSong comes from Dawn who took home last week prize with this entry.  Lance has launched Damien Rice's "Elephant" at Dawn's request to inspire our pens.  I'm stuck in a poetic free-flow right now, so I'm sticking with my comfort zone...here's my 100 words

He persists

Breath hot, heavy in my ear

As he sings me a melody

A call I cannot return.

Commonalities

Kindred spirits

Connected on a potential sea

Of all we should have been

Had I not careened

Into a future that was already written

Still the sound of his song resonates

Beats within a heart

That belongs to another

Contractual

If not factual

And lost within the breath

Barely able to breathe

deny

Soul food sustenance

Living up to expectations

Lyrics written by another

Secret time, secret lover

That leaves me broken and tethered

To the elephant in the room
