Saved by the violin

by I love you always and today   Oct 19, 2008


She's a violin player
And dresses in black
Scars on her arm
And runs to crack

Drugs are her best friend
But she's the best musician
She has no one around her
saving her from her addiction

No one knows how great she is
And what music means to her
And if she dies tomorrow
won't be missed, she'll be blurred

Without hiding behind make-up
She'll be a beautiful young girl
But no one saw her face
hides behind make-up and curls

I heard her music once
And it was wonderful to hear
No one ever played like that
Throughout all the years

I know her music will be missed
If anything ever happened to her
To bad her parents are gone
From something that occurred

She lives on her own now
In a little spaced apartment
She's a senior in high school
Trapped in a compartment

Well now music goes to waste
cause she won't listen to me
But I'll give one last try
To say her music is the key

Hopefully she'll make a friend
To save her from a waste of suicide
She shouldn't think she's nothing
she should be filled with pride

Her talent on music is wonderful
And if she dies, what a sin
But her life might just be saved
From her other best friend the violin

    I am truly touched by this. Being an artist who's been through difficult times where I didn't think life was worth much at all I deeply understand what you're trying to portray here. Without my art and music I would be nowhere right now.

    The ending is amazing:
    "Her talent on music is wonderful
    And if she dies, what a sin
    But her life might just be saved
    From her other best friend the violin"

    ^Sums up the whole idea that music can be a theraputic thing for so many people giving them some sort of hope to hold on to when all else fails. My best friend is actually a musician (piano) and she is going into music therapy. So it's a fact that music can ideed save lives. I am truly impressed by this poem.
    You can feel the sadness she is feeling by your words, however simple they may be. And I think that many great artists are ones who have been through hard lives. It's rather strange but all that pain we feel translates quite well into art or music or dance so I suppose it serves a purpose after all.
    Great work! :)

    Nice poem.

    It was pretty sad but I loved the end

    "Hopefully she'll make a friend
    To save her from a waste of suicide
    She shouldn't think she's nothing
    she should be filled with pride

    Her talent on music is wonderful
    And if she dies, what a sin
    But her life might just be saved
    From her other best friend the violin"
