All the Songs
Amrita Gupta
All the songs on my playlist
The ones that used to cheer me up
Now just bring in clouds of melancholy
I can’t get you out of my mind
I can’t think of anything else
The sounds are bitter and stale
“Delirious”, “Viva la Vida”, “A Kiss as Long as Eternity”
They all sound alien to me
Unfamiliar
I don’t recognize what once made me happy
Because now you’re the norm
You’re the sunlight shining in my window
When I first wake up
The starlight reflected in my eyes
Right before I fall asleep
And everything in between
You invade my dreams, stealing my sanity
You make me laugh, make me cry
Out loud, when I should be sleeping
No one wonders
No one knows
But I wonder, how long will this go on?
I can’t even hear my songs anymore
As soon as they’re over I forget they existed
Until one comes that recognizes me
It tells me everything I need to know
The music acknowledges how I feel
Only one that can help me through
“Mad About You”
