Songbird

Songbird, dost thou recall our verse, lyrics that fueled adolescent hearts afire? Painting smiles during ever the worse, with soothing voice impervious to tire. Thus I listened with mine ears compelled free, sans shield against thine alluring voice. I recall the tune which rang of we... Thoust sang for me, with fervor, by choice. Yet, silent hast now become thy song of I, entwined to thee with immutable grin. Though memories of music seldom die, I fear, of me, thou shall ne'er sing again. If such a fright is that which must be... Why hast thy voice alone ever touched me?

I like this one Audonis, just the right amount of sadness to add significance. You have a way of drawing the reader into your world.
