The Perfect Song

Music is our method for
Remembering our past
Music makes eternal
All the things that didn’t last

Music helps the scars to heal,
To wash the pain away
Music is the soundtrack
And the score of all our days

So why is it that lately
All the music seems to hurt me?
Why is it that every song
Brings back the thoughts I don’t need?

If music is my life
And all the music brings is pain,
Who will write the perfect song
To make things right again?
