just a Song

A really bad song, this I can stand...

I mean what's the worst that it can do? bore you, irritate you or give you a mild headache, right?

But it can't make you feel alone.
Only a really good song can.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Have you ever heard a song, & it was so beautiful that you felt you can't take it anymore?

And from the very start, right at the opening notes, you hear them echoeing inside you somehow.
And you can tell, you've found one of those songs.
Man! Songs were not meant to be able to do this to a guy, you know?
whatever that instrument playing is, it had no right playing inside your chest and it should not be tempting your heart to fly out with its notes, it should not be able to!
and that voice singing to the music is just a human voice... it should not be ringing in your mind, it should not make you feel drunk.
A song should not be able to melt you like a lover's touch,
it shouldn't be stronger than you, now why are there tears in my eyes?!

And a song can only be heard, you can't see or touch it.

I wish I didn't want to...
You could dance to a song,

but you shouldn't be wishing you could dance with it.

I wish I could stop it! Hold it still so it doesn't keep playing on to its death.

And God! I wish that song didn't make me feel this lonely.
The way it's resonating inside me makes me think I must be empty inside,

Now I do feel empty inside,
and outside.
Oh... the song's over.

I wish it hadn't promised to stay forever.

I played it again, but the magic in it has faded, there are still some traces of it, but they just make the song sound good.
Not divine...
That magic has gone somewhere else.
To another song, perhaps.
