In fear, in sorrow (poem)

In fear, in sorrow

My sorrows sounded quietly back then.
I don’t really remember them.
Fading out across the ether…
I left no impression, and formed none either.
But I do remember the anxiety
You echoed it, riffed it right out of me
Songs that fuelled me, lent me some edge
Soundtrack to visions, a future more confident
I thought things were going
To be different.
But ten years on, the sorrows and the songs,
Only get more potent.
The soundtrack
Muse - Con-Science
