I Played a Song

I woke up emotionless
with a numb mind
and I played a song—
waves—
colors—
It took me high
and I thought it'd last forever

I felt a rhythm beating with my heart
and a melody that moved in and out my ears
my brain fulfilled of clear tones and lyrics
and my eyes were the ones that went numb
and I thought it'd last forever

I sang, silent
I danced, quiet
I stood, soulless and full at the time
I'd never felt emptier, but happier withal
and I hoped it'd last forever

It went higher
and it moved my spirit faster
It went lower
the beat dropped into my soul
I wished to rise with it
and then disperse into the silence as it did
Even if it ended, for me it lasted forever
and I wished I lasted forever
the same forever the song did.
