I have no understanding why

Demon eyes dwell only here

Life turns to death with a blade

Silence to her voice is made

A curse with no words

A voice lost with no sound

All that's left is blood on the ground

Spared for nothing

They stood together

As she stayed quiet for years to come

Trauma peaks its head out from the past

Nothing good will come to last

Day after day

In silence she stayed

Day and night

She watched as he played

Music she can see

But cannot hear

A reminder at every turn

Brings back that fear

Words on paper

His voice is not heard

That's how they stayed together

Caught up in the melody

She goes unnoticed

He cannot hear her calling to him

The smell of pain caught his attention

But too late was he to see her pain

Silence again

He grieves for nothing

Only a ghost stood before him

It is her, but not her

That's what he sees

Going on in grievance without knowing

She's not gone...just hurt

Now, she's what she longed to be

And yet, he still can't see

A voice, a smile, laughter in her eyes

Yet, he sits and watches

He still cries

Unaware that she is there

The scars of the past he bares

So he decides to play on for her sake

His grievance he puts behind him as she wakes

They say goodbye for nothing

It doesn't have to end

Together they no longer stay

After she wakes

A new beginning for them both

She can speak

She can be outgoing

He can play

He can wonder freely

They go their separate ways

With the memories of the past broken

Life on the outside begins

But I'll never know why

Why they went on unknowing

They were the ones that survived

Together today

Gone tomorrow

They travel down the road separately

Leaving behind their sorrow


I wrote this poem based on the movie Soundtrack. My friend's mother showed me a song on Youtube called Synchronicity. It came from that movie. The star is a Japanese musician/actor named Sugizo. When I heard the song, it blew me away completely. So I searched for the movie and found it on Youtube. It took me awhile to realize that the two existed in different dimensions. That's why they didn't see eachother. His sister had two different sides to her. One that died, The other the outgoing type that hated her life. But I can't simply just change the poem. I'll just keep it as it is.
