“Without music, life would be a mistake.” – Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
I turned the music on today.
I let the pain work its way out and through
my heart to my eyes,
welling up with watery release
I turned the music on today.
I let the tears come rolling on in and down
my face to my lips,
tasting my salty sorrow.
I turned the music on today.
I felt all of it rolling around and across
I let myself go
I let myself go
from my life in this dark room.
