Lost in the Music

Music fills my soul. When life empties it I sing my heart out no matter how bad I am, because with each exhale of a lyric, is an exhalation of pain. Life isn't always perfect, and we all need that one thing to get us through the bad times. The difficult times that take our breath and steal our hope. I cry as I'm singing a verse from our favourite songs, to release the heartache that I can't bring to my lips. The pain that pulls so deeply, it rips the smile from my face. It makes my bones ache while it holds me close. So I put on my headphones, turn up the volume until it drowns out my fears, my pain. And I let go, until I have nothing left. Until I can sleep....
