Please, Piano Boy

Please, piano boy, get out of my head It's not that I don't want you there; it's just not worth the bloodshed Because you deserve it all, and all I am is not enough So I'm bleeding, trying to forget you instead So please, piano boy, get out of my head Please, piano boy, don't play that piano piece It blurs my mind, seeps into my veins, each time you touch the keys You see the world like I do; I can tell by how you play The music finds its cadence, but my soul still craves release So please, piano boy, don't play that piano piece I could lie and say the music doesn't lead me back to you That I never catch your name on my tongue out of the blue That I can still live my life And I promise you, I've tried How hard can it be to make myself believe that's true? Yet I can't even listen to Chopin anymore Because every piece makes me think of you And when I said I'd never been in love before You entered my life right on cue And in the silence, I still hear the melodies you've made Lingering in the air, so sweet and clear So, every time I think, my thoughts of you begin to fade I try to forget, but they're all I can hear In between the notes, you're all I can find Now, I can't hear Chopin without you on my mind Somehow, you find a way to come across in every etude Stormy passion finds its way through The same storm found in your gaze And in each nocturne's theme, like in a sweet and tender dream I find your smile in the scene Floating amidst each phrase Now, I can't help but listen to Chopin even more To remind me of the moments I've spent with you Now I can say I've finally been in love before It's more beautiful and sweet than I ever knew And in the silence, I can hear the melodies you've played Like gentle raindrops falling on my ear And I do all I can to make sure they never fade Because, above all else, I long to keep you near In between the notes, you were all I found Now I listen to Chopin just to keep you around Because I find you inside every sound Please, piano boy, let me keep what I've found

Thank you for your kind words! This is not my greatest work considering that it was originally meant to be a song that I decided to adjust to fit the classification of a poem. Most of the poetry I write is technically more of a song since music has a big impact on my life. Thank you again!
