Song of the night

I listen as your simple playing
speaks to me of decades past
It fills my heart
and sings its song across the night
It haunts me
Makes the darkness dance around my bed
and forces words to fill my head
until I have to spill these thoughts
upon an open page
And still I watch your fingers move
across the strings
Still I cannot silence you
But please
now I've said my piece
won't you play me back to sleep
