Shadow Pianist

I sat there on the piano bench,
Watching the darkness flowing
Unlimited hell raised to create this,
And they gave it all to me…

This piano I’ll treasure forever,
This piano I’ll protect with my life.
It was my pain, my joy, my madness,
My despair, eagerness, my sadness.

The sound of the piano was wonderful
Melodious, almost heavenly…
It was like an angel fell from heaven to hell,
Like a living dreams, where all goes well.

I played the pieces from famous composers,
I played pieces from the shows I’ve watched.
But there was something missing, a missing link

I needed someone to listen, listen to me
I called but no one answered, it was devastating…
So I’m going to just keep playing…playing…
