Oh man, I really want to hear that out loud, set to music and super polished up or live at a concert and sweaty and alive and I really just loved every bit of it. Your songs just keep getting better, and so do your poems, and even your current stories are really good right now. Are the golden-brown eyes Frank's? I really liked the part where you repeated the word "alone" a bunch of times, that part of the song was really good. I also liked that part when you were saying all of that about not looking in a mirror (would that be referred to a chorus or a refrain or what? I don't know the technical term, but I really liked it anyway). Thank you for posting this separately. I feel like I was able to take my time through it and fully appreciate all of it.
