A breathe of air floats in place of muscle, murmuring distractedly beneath the skin. Stripping bare the bone, useless without a pulley system of tendons, leaving them limp and shaking. A nervous hand warbles a slippery handshake somehow gathering lint within a closed fist, accompanied by stifled eye contact fearing the niggling imprint of a first impression. The smile spreads like wildfire, disguising the self-conscious murmurs, throwing a glint to the eye spinning confidence and charm. It catches across the break, a smile in return…
This one was momentarily interrupted by my dogs and also but an infuriating glint of sunlight that kept blinding me.
I decided to go with the musclar weakness that comes with being nervous about something. A few lines I enjoyed: murmuring distractedly beneath the skin; pulley system of tendons; warbles a slippery handshake; stifled eye contact; niggling imprint; smile spread like wildfire; catches across the break.
The opening idea could have been better executed. I was trying to make it sound like the muscles turned to air. I'll likely think over that idea every now and then or when I'm next writing a song to see if I can properly express the idea.
