Ill Be the Drummer

Crying in silence, 
vacancy needing a beat; 
Something was missing; 

Failing to exist;
Melody that’s not breathing 
stuck inside your head; 

A note with no soul 
changing the sounds and volume  
the cymbol crashes; 

Influential tone,  
the tempo found it’s echo;
I’ll be the drummer; 

You were an unpolished song, 
I kind of completed you.

Sometimes it's just that one thing that makes a song...and the beat goes on! I like this, Melani :)
