The idea behind this poem is the feeling of nostalgia that we feel whenever a song plays that we recognize because it brings back memories that were lost or forgotten in the time and now they just woke up again to either makes us feel happy or make us sad. It depends on a song.
Memories and Melodies
memories blending with the melodies
melodies i hear that bleed memories
memories that are covered in gray
melodies make me relive the pain
wind up in the circle with nowhere to escape
nostalgia is a sin to commit, melodies are my bane
memories holds a grip on me, don't associate song with your pain
cadence is a song that nature hums
after goodbyes, never meant to happen
live or die, the world moves on
i'm too weary to play this tortured game
What does this poem means to me?
If you ask me what does this poem means to me, then let me tell you this remains one of the most relatable poems i have ever penned because i feel it every single day. There are songs that when i listen brings back memories of a time when i would listen to them and watch everything happen in my life. I think about the old days because those melodies transport me back in time where i either laugh or cry. This feeling is torturous as someone dealing with depression. My favorite line from this poem has to be "i'm too weary to play this tortured game" because it is true, i'm tired of crying over songs that aren't even sad. the song "infinity" transports me back to the year 2022 and i just can't control my emotions. its tough.
What are your thoughts?
have you ever started crying or smiling after hearing a song? i have and i mostly cried because the memories those songs brings back are from the darkest period of my life. It doesn't have anything to do with the song, its just because of the fact those melodies were the one that we used to listen when something significant was happening in our life. what are your thoughts on this?
I love it.
