Letting the Music Play On

This tune,

this melody,

this horror in front of me

 

Plays like a sick tune,

of sickness and disease

 

The key winds around,

the picks play their death cry

over

and over

again

 

It haunts my dreams

playing as your face

locks my soul

into a dance of death with your heart

 

Over and Over again

you play

through my head

pounding the beat,

snapping the strings,

flaying the chords,

bleeding the Harmony

 

Years this went on,

the dance of my heart

Slogging through the tears,

as you always bow away

spinning through the music,

cutting my veins

succumbing to this haunting

Music

 

Centered in the sky,

above the our waltz

sits the centerpiece of our dance,

a grand chandelier,

adorned in silk and diamonds,

sparkling above us,

showing the times we should have had

could have...

 

Yet here we dance,

forever the Music echoing,

deep

in my Heart
