What happens to a song forgotten?
Does it drift around aimlessly
like a confused wind?
Or does it haunt people like it wants to come back
And then leaves dejectedly for never being remembered?
Does it keep pursuing thoughts like a happy nightmare?
Or simply dance around to its own tunes
Like a young ballerina
Maybe it just slides into nothingness
Like a dream deferred
Or does it shatter?
