[Poetry] That Song

A familiar tune,

with fragments of life stored within.

A slice of youthful romance,

or bits of sorrow from the past.

Zestful reawakening.

A song that would push me ,

into the depths of emotion.

Pull me out of mundane reality.

Am I happy? It would ask,

the innocence of my heart.

The reason for my joy, it would ask.

And then, when it ends,

I am back to the numbness,

the stillness of actuality. 

Alone with a wistful longing –

wish she was here.
