Like a cowboy's revolver


I’d die if I didn’t have it.


Once too big, now too small.


My guitar is special to me.


 


Dark brown like a tree.


Light brown like chocolate.


My guitar is special to me.


 


Its strings are clear like glass.


It’s shiny like varnish.


My guitar is special to me.


 


It’s tuning pegs are jade.


It’s neck is wood.


My guitar is special to me


 


Its sound has frustrated me


But most of the time it brings joy.


My guitar is special to me.


 


It was played every day


But now it spends mostly of its time in a cupboard


Yet it holds many memories in its scratches, dents and fingerprints.


My guitar is special to me.
