For You

Deep into the stillness of the night, 
In desolation or in anger. 
On a wet pillow or a smiling lap, 
wherever your head may lie. 
Never fear. 
In inexplicable bouts of joy, 
in elation, ecstasy or absolute grief. 
In loneliness unsurpassed, 
Or when on yourself, your doubts are cast
In solemn thought or in carefree lethargy

In the cacophony of life, or in deathly silence
In vivid art or a bland scribble. 
In the serenity of the mountains,
the lust green by the gushing stream. 

Ow within the claustrophobic confines 
of your lonely existence. 

Even if you have nothing left
That is dear
Never fear 
For there is always a song 
for you
Just the right tone, 
To keep you company when you're alone
A lend a rhyme scheme
To the meaningless poem of life
To lend balance. 

In delight and despair alike
friends and foes drown away into the eternity
Of the song right now
somewhere, 
Just for you
So you cease to exist
And begin to live

“People haven't always been there for me but music always has.” 
― Taylor Swift
