"Keys"

She lets her fingers run
She lets her fingers play
They do laps up and down the ebony and ivory keys again

Sometimes she plays for fun
Sometimes she plays to be calm
Sometimes she doesn't play at all
And then sometimes she does

She could play till her hands would ache
Play till her fingers bled
Play and forget the world

The music sometimes calmed her
And as she played
She let the music surround her

It created a dome of security
A place she was safe

So when she was sad
She visited the keys
And played until the feeling left her body

And when she was glad
She'd visit the keys
And play away with gladness and glee

The keys were a constant
The keys were always there
The keys on her piano
To them she would always share
