Reality

Day after day I stay here

Day after day I puzzle over life

Day after day I make no headway

And it breaks my heart

And it breaks my soul

And the drum line in my chest has stopped it's beating

And the string quartet of my soul is exceptionally still

And I feel hopelessly alone

The trumpets that used to drive me forward have been muzzled

And even the titillation of my hope has died out, the keys have gone cold

So I float in the abyss

And hope that someone somewhere will see me as an island to dream of

But the soft recollections of symphonies past do nothing more than keep me a float

And the stillness of my orchestra stop me from rising any more

And so I wait

Tortured by uncertainty and confusion

For a note

However delicate and soft

To pull at the strings of my soul

To awaken the snares of my heart

To loose my trumpets

And move me forward once more
