You never know you’ve lost something till it’s really gone
Or so the saying goes
And yet I knew
Oh I dwelled in the denial
I tried to stop the slipping away
And yet it followed me
Every note I played although perfectly in tune sounded flat in my ear
Every song on the page looked bland and unclear
Every minute, a chore, as though I was training for a war
For nothing is more draining then fighting for what is already lost
Oh I knew why
I just turned the other cheek
Because how do you lose something that runs so deep?
How do you lose something you’ve built over so many years?
Music had lost the spark it brought for little me
It felt like a fairytale dream
Fluffy and wishy washy with no meaning to glean
Oh I knew it was gone a long time ago
So, I finally let it go
It’ll come back if it’s meant to be
Or so the saying goes
