2am piano playing

02:44 30/07/2019

perhaps perception was brought out of way
and i just keep waiting for a better day
but this instrument stares as long as it stays
for it knows the temptation of me wanting to play

my hotel has a piano but it's out of tune
and when asked for a fix they said 'maybe soon'
i guess it's hard to consider an action one would not do
but oh please i just wish to play for the moon

how i could do so right now, right this second
alone while others are sleeping in tents
how i could do what i wish and not give a fuck
play the melody that's been stuck in my head for months

my how i long for the touch of the swollen keys
the type of love that sends you to your knees
oh yes kneel before me the goddess of tunes
because with my sweet fingers i will make you swoon

but may someone just allow me to play
i want to be able to dream of another day
and though i know i could do so now
my head is cloudy and i am down

so please once more in my final verse
promise me that i will succeed in this universe
and i will gain the instrument which i can play
and finally be able to plan my next days
