I thought I could drown
out the haunting melody, the notes
of sadness tinged
with despair running
through my head, a soundtrack
to my thoughts that I
begin to find sickening.

I thought that if I
filled my ears with you,
your chords, in major scale,
I would be deaf
to the minor
tune of myself.

All was discord and
cacophony as the music in
my ears met the music
in my mind and
I fled.
