“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness”
Maya Angelou

“Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”

I lay on my bed and watch the clock tick and have no fear or feelings. The day is warm, but my flesh is cold. The feeling of loss comes back to haunt my mind. I sit there, alone, tired, and lonely. Who can I turn to when every one has seemed to disappear in thin air?

I am not sure what inspired me to write this, but what I do know is that I have felt loneliness before, and I think that's why this came to me so easily.
