Muzak

Blink 182: Miss you

Perhaps
It was
A couple of days ago
A song
From my past
Had been converted to Muzak
Symphonic nothingness
Replacing
The real
With an anorexic
Hollow

You know
Maybe

Or

Perhaps

The scratching at my window
I knew was her
But I dare not look
For
So many times
In the past
I looked
To find
Nothing
Save a fleeting glimpse
That
She would deny
Despite
Either
I wouldn't look
Yet
I had to

I was her nothing

or I was her everything

Which
Is why
I was
her nothing

Two voices
Stuck
The permanent binary
The ying
The yang
Forever opposed
Forever in balance

The most penitent of pilgrims
Might catch only
A glimpse
Of paradise
Or
Be driven mad
By a return trip

Or perhaps lfie
Was being replaced
By a Muzak
Soul
