Facing The Music

I hate the way
The music plays
Stirring up storms
A concoction of emotions

I hate the way
The music plays
Every single night
Thinking of you

I hate the way
The music plays
Taunting me
What should have been

I hate the way
The music plays
Reminding me of
Words I can’t take back

Moments I wish
Went a different direction
To moments with you
Instead of wasting precious time

I hate the way
The music plays
As it haunts me
To this day

I hate the way
The music plays
Knowing not a day goes by
When I don’t think of you
