I think music is one of the main outlets I use for my emotions. I might not write my own songs or poems but I connect so much with the words behind a song. For years I have copied down lyrics or referenced them in one way or another.
Last night I got to see sara bareilles in concert and it was wonderful. Quite a few of her songs affect me on an emotional level and here are a few little pieces of them.....
~~~~~~~
No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
No broken heart,
No familiar scars,
This territory goes uncharted...
~~~~~~~
I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just basket case without you
~~~~~~~
I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time
~~~~~~~
I'll breathe again...
And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is

A dear friend of mine NanaK put me onto The Weepies - This is Not Your Year. It was perfection for my deepest darkest times. It is a nice sounding song but the lyrics ring true and the whole package put together used to make me cry... in fact spent a few nights crying myself to sleep with it. But it was a good emotional release if nothing else.
