I was pushed off track today
By a friend who understood
I just took that for granted, now
I don’t think that they could
I went home and listened
To my music, dark and drear
I needn’t talk as its lullaby
Gently pulled me near
I felt its words,(and beats) and strong they were
For it did understand
Exactly what I’d gone through
For it too, had learned first hand
Friends forever sympathize
And it’s all I’ve ever sought
But music is always empathy
Consoling friend or not
