The scary music never stopped.

It was always there, full volume,

telling me things I didn't want to hear.

At auditions it would play so loud 

I couldn't sing my own song.

I couldn't fall asleep at night 

because the sound was so deafening.

When I met you the scary music didn't stop,

it just added your name to the lyrics of the song

that scared me the most:

"everything you're afraid to lose."

Since the music started I had been looking for headphones,

something that will mute it.

When you put your arms around me,

the scary music stopped.

My thoughts cleared of all things bad,

and all I could think of was you.

When you put your lips on mine there wasn't scary music,

only beautiful choirs singing songs o love.

Scary music still plays in the background throughout my day,

but it's easy to turn down the volume

with the thought of your voice,

your touch, and your presence.
