the ballad of a forgotten piano

you used to play me under the silver moon and sing along to my melodious tune your velvety voice compliments me together we were beauty, a striking symphony but as you got older your eyes saw more you saw the monsters and evil the world bore you learned about frustration obsession suppression and then you fell into the abyss of depression i wished you had come to me and play i would've hugged you and wiped those tears away we could've soared together beneath the shadows but why did you choose that poisonous arrow? do you remember the music we made if you'd just believe i could be your aid my carol is unsung and your story untold my figure is rusty and your eyes are cold if i tell you that you're not yet too late will you listen and change your fate? place your hands on my hardened keys remember the old days remember them please remember our songs and remember me you can let go and play our harmony
