more than a lovely tune

you came to my life
and you did
more than a lovely tune.
your voice spoke
and it became
my favorite song.

those times i was afraid,
those times i was confused,
i played it,
over and over,
until the demons
within me vanished
like they were never there.

and i found solace
in your comforting words,
it made me believe
i deserve to live
without being ruled
by my fear and confusion.
