Cough

Cough

I can't sing our song today

a cough has taken my voice hostage

It limits me to half a note

before my throat decides to stop me

and my stomach hurts

my abs are sore

I can't take this for much anymore

and I hope to myself

(but I don't keep it secret)

that you could find the patience

and remember the song and not just forget it

Please hum the song to yourself

a melody that resonates in your mind

magnitudes decaying ever so slowly with time

I have a cough. I know that doctors like to define them as either a wet or dry cough. I like to think of coughs as coughs that I can still sing with or coughs that do not allow me to sing. Those are the annoying coughs 'cause I'll try to sing a song and go into a coughing fit. I don't know what kinda cough I have at the moment. I haven't played guitar lately cause I feel as though I will start coughing so I don't even bother... and I cough at night. So obviously I'm coughing right now. Oh well. Hope it goes away soon. Peace out.
