Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Shaky Fingers, by Me

Shaky fingers

Play the piano

Faster than my mind can register.

Because the slower I play

The more I think.

About my heart pounding in my chest

About how I spend too much time on the computer

About what SHE'S going to do to me

As soon as I finish playing.

So as I play the last chord,

My shaky fingers swoop over random keys

As I run to my room to cry.
