When the music left

Where did the music go?

It was there loud and clear 

But not one note to hear 

He packed up his bags in the night 

Our plight too loud for him to bear

Now the days are filled with the sound 

Of silence.

The music used to play through the day

I would dance with him till my eyes closed 

And the music softly played a lullabye 

Now he is gone 

now there is no music 

No joy, no soul.

Yet a faint tune plays in the distance 

My heart is scattered in a different rhythm 

I move my feet too slow 

The coda comes to a close

He is gone 

There is no music 

No joy, no soul 

When I press my hand upon the keys

Not a tune will play for me

Without the music

Everything feels like a grand pause 

No other sound dares to claw at the silence

He is gone 

There is no music 

No joy, no soul 

When the music left

The world went silent and dull

The music still plays faintly in my heart 

But my crying is out of tune

He is gone 

There is no music

No joy, no soul.
