The Boy Who Sings Of Emily Poem by Teagan Kai

His words kept alive
hidden in a treasure box.
But he’s numb
on the inside. When he cries,
the tears fall to
a stained scribbled
paper.
He starts to play
his guitar. Music
awakes
the life deep within
his apathetic body.
His eyes light up
with a pensive
smile
in place. He’s no longer
the quite one,
he’s somebody different.
The melancholy
thoughts slip away.
Now he sings of
Emily.
Sweet surrender-
you can’t
take your eyes off
this boy
Breathe
in deep. Here comes the relief.
It’s from that innocent
voice. From the boy
who sings of
Emily.
