A cold stare was all i recieved
as i looked for reassurance in the rearview
blank minded
you couldn't help me
And somewhere between
Nelly Furtado
and Cold
you spoke
finally from within
of all the things i wanted
music was the only way to
draw you out, and keep you there
when it stopped
you died.
and again i'd be lost
I doubt myself
my actions, my motives
they all seem vacant
and then you come into my
life and gave me focus
in the radio you
were my solace
and you assured me
of myself
how
do
you
come
when
i
need
you
?
not
when
i
want
you
.
------------------------------
you were absent minded and
spiritless
a void in my world
you seemed cold
torn between
lives
I came about when
you wanted me most
when the sweet
delicate music
hit my hardened soul
i softened to
balance you!
i gave in
to give you what
you needed!
you heartless bastard!
why are you so selfish.
and why do you need me when
you don't
why can't you be happy with you
i'm the person you want to be,
not the one you are.
leave me be, and leave
my music in my heart.

Excellent write, I loved how you told the tale, intrigued me and kept my interest from start to finish (no easy task I tell you) The only sentense i didn't understand was this one.
"finally from withing"
