Some losses are too difficult to comprehend and cope with but we always hope that we can overcome them with love and support and hope and faith. 

Piano on fire 
By Michelle Morris
08/05/2020

Chorus
You set your piano on fire, 
Trying to burn the memories;
But all you burned was your music,
And all that's left are your tears. 
(End Chorus)

You lost him and felt
Like you'd lost it all;
Couldn't find the music again -
It had left your soul.

You lost him and it
Seemed you lost a
Piece of your mind...
Feeling to join him
In death
Was a gift so kind.

But we found you in time,
We stopped it for now...
The look in your eyes
Told us you were
Already in hell.

But hell is a dungeon
Of our own making;
The guilt; the shame;
The constant pacing... 

Of a soul not at rest
Within itself...
You didn't sleep for nights;
The drinking didn't help.

Chorus

We tried to convince you,
There was more to life, 
Than sitting around in the dark,
With a burned piano for a friend.

We tried to help you
Get through it all;
But only you could
Really make the call
- to live; to fight
- to dream, to love...

Only you could
Witness your soul
Free like a dove...

Free from all that
Heavy baggage;
Realising you're not
To blame for his
Miscarriage.

Chorus

We hope you find your music again;
To replace the burned piano friend.
We hope your soul will soar again...
We hope you'll
Find strength
And hope and
Peace again.
