Send Back The Song Poem by Edwina Reizer

Where is the song that can put me to sleep
So I don’t have to think?
Has it traveled on airwaves that can’t reach me?
Am I the missing link?
I used to play so many songs
Until my fingers tired.
And now when I try to bring them back
I feel so uninspired.

Is that what time has done to me?
Taken away my drive?
Give it back, you robbers of my peace.
Let me feel alive.
The nocturnes and the lullabies
That I used to hear
Came so easy once before.
Now they’ve left my ear.

Let me find you once again.
Don’t let me search in vain.
I need my songs to flow again
So I can remain
Just like a child within my heart,
Happy and carefree.
Send back the song from wherever it is.
Please send it back to me.
