They took my music away

They Took My Music Away

They took my music away,

Tore it from the marrow of my bones,

Left me wandering in a wasteland of silence,

Where shadows gnaw at the edges of thought

And the air tastes of ash and regret.

The drums of my heart are broken,

The strings of my soul severed,

Each note I once carried

Now drifts like a ghost,

Fading into nothingness.

They took my music away,

And with it went my laughter,

The fire that once scorched my despair,

The light that once cut through the dark

All that remained was a hollow echo

And a mind teetering on the brink.

I scream in the silence,

But silence does not answer.

It swallows me whole,

Turns my pulse into a funeral dirge,

My memories into ash.

Yet still, somewhere deep,

A single, trembling note survives

A spark in the black,

A promise that even in the void,

The music will rise again,

Raging, relentless, unbroken,

And claim back what was stolen.
