Still My Guitar Gently Weeps (Isabelle)

I open the hatch to lucien's place, and slide easily down the ladder. He ignores me, sitting over playing his guitar. He plays a few random notes before starting to play a tune. I know this song. It's an old Beatles song, and was used in Kubo, a movie we saw the other weekend, made completely with stop motion animation. It was awesome. I start to sing the lines wandering around the room “I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping” I look at a picture of my friends, and how they all are, even though they're all so far apart, at the end of the day, we love each other. “While my guitar gently weeps” Lucien continues his slow playing. “I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping” I dance around, with a simple twirl, and grab a broom sweeping the floor. “Still my guitar gently weeps-  I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you,”  I look at Lucien, who was orphaned at a young age, then recruited by the dark brotherhood, working with them ever since. Thought to be a stone cold killer, and can be at times, but most of the time isn't too serious and rather funny, with an odd sense of humor.
“I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted, too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you” I pause at that, Lucien plays a solo, fingers nimbly strumming the guitar strings “still my guitar gently weeps” I continue with the verses placing the broom back in its spot “I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps” I look back at that picture, all of my friends, though their generally a happy group, they have their down moments, death, hurt, and many other things, “still my guitar gently weeps.” Lucien finishes his song, and places it down. “Can a guitar really weep?”

I had an idea and ran with it. Kubo is a good movie.

[i have also included the one from Kubo as well]
Until next time,
