That Song

Hello again, it’s been so long

This time what has gone wrong?

Your eyes are brim with misery

Your smile still remains a mystery

You ignore me and let me be

Almost afraid to choose me

For I’m not a friend for happy times

There is always those other merry rhymes

You only need me in pain

Yes I’ll be that song again

Today where shall we go

Some familiar place that I know?

Do my words once more take you on

To see the ones that are lost and gone?

Or that place so empty and dark

With nothing and no one to hark?

Some new place more deep and hollow

Do you yearn for some peace to follow?

There is nothing that I can do

I’ll just be that song to you

I wish you wouldn’t hate me so

Do I only deserve your woe?

“What is that you’re listening to?”

The ignorant stranger says to you

“It’s not just music you see

It’s the only one always there for me”

The stranger remained confused for a while

As I finally saw your insignificant smile

I’ve had it so wrong all along

Now I know, I am THAT song
