To You, My Piano Teacher

Dear Elisabeth, 

Our journey has come to an end. 
Exciting, yet adventurous. 

Exam day, 
You are an angel, 
Soft as a feather.  
I still remember which music I played. 
I was terrified.
But fortunate. 

A freezing winter Monday, 
To a heating summer Friday.
Our happy faces never fade. 

Until that day, 
Gala day. 
My heart sunk.
To the bottom of the sea, 
Fallen into pieces, 
Never coming up, 
Never going back together. 

When I go into the lights, 
When the audience claps, 
When I’m with the orchestra living my dream, 
But memories with you,
Filled my entire brain. 
All I can think was 
“This is for you”
My first and last time sharing this moment with you. 

I went out there, 
My fingers weren’t playing notes, 
My fingers played my heart. 
It played my story with you. 
Not Greig’s story, 
Not a made up story, 
But our story, 
A true story. 

Three years, 
36 months, 
156 weeks, 
1096 days. 
We’ve come so far. 

You watched me grow, 
Helped me to achieve my dream. 
Never imagined this day fast forwarded a year, 
Unexpected.

When the leaves start to fall, 
When the breeze becomes cold wind, 
When the clock runs out of battery, 
Take the ferry and start a new adventurous journey. 

Your student, 
Melody

Unexpected

Unexpected
I found something interesting on the floor. 
Just close to my white little door. 
When I looked closely, 
The writing there surprised me. 
That’s something I adore. 
 
Until I find out something more. 
Unexpected but not to ignore. 
It’s about humanity. 
Not about resistance disappointed me. 
I can’t think about it anymore.

Anger

Anger, 
When the bottle is smashed onto the ground. 
Into pieces. 
Just like a broken heart. 

Anger, 
When you see the display items in the window
Pretty but lonely
Like it’s asking for help. 

Anger, 
When you ripped your paper by accident. 
The screaming inside makes you cry. 

Anger, 
Just another way of sadness. 
The feeling that you want to hide.
