My Music

Flowing softly through the room

Those beautiful chords touch my soul

I want to embrace them

And keep them near to me forever

But they're just notes

Nothing more than vibrated air

Yet they wrap around me

And carry me across the floor

Ever pushing me onward

Ever encouraging me to take one more step

And so here I am, my music and I

Away from you and your awful lies

Don't try to get me back

For it will never work

You messed up once, but not again

Because I won't be there for you to lie to

I never thought I'd have the courage to say this

But it's over. You lied, you cheated, you hurt me

You got your chance and wasted it

So long, I'm not looking back

Because the chords keep me facing forward

And hold me up when I need help

Unlike you, you selfish man

The sweet notes fill my ears

And drown out your pleas for forgiveness

And so I dedicate my life

My rejuvenated, my saved life

To this wonder that saved me from your unkind hands

My soft chords and singing melodies

My music
