The Miserable Ones

It's music flows within my veins.

They sing, my heart stands still.

I wish that moment could stay forever,

That I could freeze time at will.

Those hours will forever haunt me,

Shadowing life in a dull grey hue.

But when I listen I have found the key,

To a world where dreams come true.

The moments of that night are guarded,

Safe within my mind and heart.

I can't believe that night has parted,

And now my hopes are torn apart.

It was as though my world had just begun,

My dreams unfolded before my eyes.

But now the battle's over and done,

The dream before me slowly dies.

The things that used to give me joy,

Now leave me feeling empty, cold.

But I shall keep the music with me,

Even when I'm weak and old.
