Like a Siren’s song
Her voice called to me
Rekindling the flames
Of a past love
As her voice reverberates within my skull
I imagine abandoning all I have
Family, friends, career
To follow
Innocently it begins
Simply acknowledging the beauty of what I hear
Slowly it shifts
I could support her
Musically, of course
Creatively, perhaps
But my skill is not worthy of her voice
We could practice, together
I could learn to be better
For her
We could travel the world, together
She could make my dreams come true
And I hers
As if she needed anything from me
Inevitably, I would fall in love
With the music, with her
We would create beautifully
Things would end horribly
I would find myself alone
With no regret
But longing for the embrace
Of the wife and children I had left behind
To follow this Siren’s song
