Melodic Compounds

Keys pressing soft chords on the piano
No colors here, just black, white and gray
A single light shines into the room
Is it possible to sing your heart away?
"All I did was suffer.." she cries in the dark
Her chest rises and falls with the pain
Melodies bouncing off and come floating back
So beautifully resistant, but going insane.
Keys pressing chords on her heartstrings
The pitch giving rise to her tears
Breathing in the melodic compounds
These verses that scream of pain and fear
Dark eyelids hoping for a better vision
Fingertips pressing for some kind of release
Vocal chords rising to the vaulted ceiling
Echoing back down vibrations, and peace.
Keys pressing soft chords on the piano
No colors here, just black, white and gray
A single light shines into the room
Is it possible to sing your heart away?
