my hands dance across
the keys and strings.piano helps me.
i play the songs
you wrote for me.i played them to hold on
to the past,
to us.i play my own notes now.
i know my sweet sound,
just me without you.bass helps me.
i play the songs
you wrote for me.i played the dissonance
and relished in tune,
our struggles.i play my own notes now.
i know my sweet sound,
just me without you.the instruments,
my therapy,
help me.i played
to feel close to you.
now i play
to make myself new.
