Music can thrum in your bones

Filling your world with song

Bringing a smile for all that is right

And bringing the tears for the wrong


I remember it well

How it instilled such wonder

Until the murder of my parents

Tore my world asunder


Now silent sings my heart

Lest I notice its tune

And I stand there alone

In the centre of the room


Amidst wallpaper tears

And the shadows that loom

And the cracks in the plaster

Like a festering wound


If I close my eyes and my mind

With an effort of will

All the songs of my youth

Whisper to me still
