A broken melody
Holds a key
Deep within the chords
Of a rundown piano,
Where I used to play
A song of relief,
Remembering.

While browsing the pieces
Of my song book
I write.
Turning the pages,
Scribbling a note,
So I could bring back
A song,
That once played
The keys to my heart

With a resounding tone
As I recall every song
I have played
with my piano,
So blissfully,
So wistfully,
That I almost forgot
What it really means,
To be alive...
While performing,
While listening,
A broken melody.
Do you know what it means to be alive?

I've been playing the piano since high school (more or less 5 years now) but I still don't know how to read notes. LOL! Yeah, I guess that's how it is. I rely heavily on chords and piano tabs. This is the reason why I made this poem... I've always been searching for the right chord, the right tone of a song that will complete... my own piece, my broken melody.
