Soothing Music
Soothing music lulls my soul to sleep,
Deep, too deep my mind can't bare,
To see the hypnotic face that stares,
At me through the blank reflection
Of the mirror.
I never meant for life to be this way
I hoped to change it all around
Instead I listen to the lulling sound
Of music from my youth now tainted
By my actions.
Soothing music turns up louder in my mind
As desperately I now seek to find,
Redemption for the years I wasted,
Forgiveness for the pain they've tasted
Due to me.
Soothing music makes the tears fall stronger,
Longer than they've ever done before,
As silently I close the door
Of my home, alone, I'll say goodbye -
Please daddy don't die.
