The Man I Loved - an original show tune by Margot Rudell and Pablo Lococo

Hi Everybody!

Recently, I've been putting my poems to music. Here's my latest, "The Man I Loved," a show tune ready for Cabaret or Broadway.  All the gorgeous instrumental music, mixing, and producing was done by Pablo Lococo, an amazing musician based in Argentina.  I wrote the lyrics in 2012 and did the vocals in 2012, 2016, and 2017.  Smiles!

I hope you'll listen and share our song!

2142. The Monster Within

Depression is
A Monster
Fierce,
Terrifying.
Each day,
The opponent
Changes.
A new battle
Rages.
We fight
With swords
And knives -
Emotions,
Thoughts,
And words -
The mental
Kind.
I scarcely
Dare
Open or
Close
My eyes.
Each dream
Seethes
A new Hell:
Of drowning
As the sea
Surges,
Shame
Downs,
A raging
Fire surrounds,
Or the millionth
Cut takes
Its toll.
Awake
I grieve
And feel
Each loss
Real
And imagined.
Worst
Is knowing,
Knowing,
Knowing
This enemy
Is deathless.

Hoping

Too
