As The Music Fades
A Fading Song
I can hear a song fading,
in the distance.
A song that once played loud,
without resistance.
It was an exquisite
unmistakable rhythm
that caressed my heart.
It made the butterflies fly,
overwhelming inside,
with crippling warmth .
Eargasms after the song
that played with strength.
A never ending tune
that stretched even more in length.
Oh but how I dance to it,
sang with it,
thinking it would never end.
Like a One-Hit-Wonder,
that one day,
stopped in suspense.
Where did it go?
How can I win it back?
Doubting myself,
wondering if it was my fault,
Was it something I lacked?
Slowly becoming just a hum,
The song became a mourn,
The tune began its quiet descent,
into one lonely monotone.
It pulled at my heart strings,
snipping off any relation.
As I felt it leaving the universe
the silence threatened to drown
me in desperation.
The fear of losing
the music, that made me,
ate at me in waves.
Was I wrong to try to hold on,
to something,
that was not mine anymore
to crave?
As I pleaded,
as I begged,
the song starts to die.
As if its done with itself
losing the strength,
and giving up with a sigh.
I couldn't resurrect it,
to it former glory,
I couldn't have it prolonged.
That heart beat of yours,
no longer mine,
became a fading song.

You have not stood alone on that precipice. It's hard to tune out of something like that. When you realize that if YOU stop the song dies.
I don't know how you got there, but I've been there too Darker. The only thing I've been able to do is 'break that shit down' and 'strike up the band'. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you Luna.
