She jams the headphones in her ears not so much for music, but more for refrain. A musically-induced comatose state; her rhythmic meds to cure the pain. An audio pill that drowns the world; a morphine dose shot in through the ears. Leaving no trace of the volatile drug that hides the cuts and stems the tears. The sound-waves imploding; collision ahead they crash and they roll ‘cross the shore of her soul. Her heartbeat explodes as the music begins; it heals all the scars that have taken their toll. Harmonically sheltered; saved by a song. A life-saving surgery that’s purely poetic. Her drug, her sweet morphine injected by earphones. Her ever-melodic, lyrical anesthetic. Nothing is more painful than realizing he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him. (Unknown) |

Music, It's saved me this last month, The one constant, in a life where a the same roof, isn't always there. A homesick melody...Cast into a sea of stress and inconsistancy. Music and your poems. Thanks Messa. |

Oh, this is wonderful. I like the flow I love to throw on some headphones and blast the music when I've had a rough day. Enjoyed this. -Trina. |
