Notes About The Poem
When I got tired of every song I heard reminding me of the same person, it was this little exercise, taking song titles from my Playlist and arranging them in a poem about the whole situation, that allowed to finally start breathing again.

Give Me Back My Music

She's so high
Higher
I fall to pieces
Crawling
Hanging by a moment
Its the end of the world as we know it 

I miss you
In the end
A last resort
Nothing to lose
A lonely day
Its been a while
I'm in too deep

I stand alone
Lost
In the meantime
The last fight
The final countdown
No more sorrow
Nobody's listening

One step closer
One last breath
One week
Only happy when it rains 
It's how you remind me
But I'm rusted from the rain
Sad but true

Say something
Send the pain below
Shake it out
Smile and wave
Somewhere out there
The sound of madness
But I'll leave a light on for you
Nothing else matters
Just let it be
