Breathing Music

zhangyuyouyu

I don't listen to this singer anymore

It used to be our favourite

But now, when I hear the songs

I used to vibe with

And I feel disgusted

By the memories I associate it with

Are you glad you have successfully tainted

A source of comfort for me?

 

One day, I'll move on and I'll let it all go

On to the next singer or genre

Or perhaps I'll listen to the same song again

The bittersweet shivers will still linger

Yet with each deep breath I take,

May my bravery triumph through it all

    Associations are so powerful. A poem that makes the point of bad associations with music and a relationship that needs healing.

    We attach many memories to music not all being good ones, which makes it very difficult when a relationship for example breaks down, you still love the music but can't listen to it because of the attached memories , nicely expressed and written
