Musical Fantasy
The piano keys keep playing in my mind,
it's all on a great giant gorgeous rewind,
of all the time we had that so was so short,
every new song i try to deport your memory,
but the addiction is still there like a giant cut,
it's a damned door dancing freely open that i can't shut,
it's a the wind that wails wistfully away,
notes never kneeling, dancing on piano keys, I can't say,
my peaceful sleep i can't keep,
medication or counting sheep,
there you are and i remember regretfully,
why i stopped listening to music so frequently,
30 and frozen at 15, where the magic still flows,
i'll only be released when time knows
allows for my story to continue onward onward
it's just a moment, a flash, and i worry
that you aren't full of happiness anymore
and here i am in a musical fantasy.
