Composition to a Confidant, Lover, and Friend

I guess I am going to have to give you up

One of my greatest loves

The thing that has soothed my soul and calmed my fears

For so many years and in so many situations

The melodies that have rocked me to sleep on the worst of days

Made me dance on the greatest of occasions

When nothing else could soothe my spirit you’ve always been there

Not judging the situation but providing peace of mind in the midst of turmoil

It’s crazy how you use to clear my head of the things I could not control

Now every word I hear within your lines reminds me

Of a situation that has me totally perplexed.

Even the tunes without words make drift in mind to …

Music, my first lover, have you forsaken me?

Why do your compositions reminding  me

Of a time when I felt free, confident and loved

Only to be jolted back to the reality that this was not mine to keep?

Music, my muse, your inspiration keeps taking back to that which I should forget.

Shouldn’t I?

What are you trying to tell me my lifelong friend?

Am I not getting the message?

 I will continue to listen because you have not failed me yet.

I just have one request

Please speak to our mutual friend as well

Encourage them to share themselves.

Whether it is through you or directly

Answers and clarification is the path to a clear mind.

Music, my friend I need you today!
