Headphones

Tune out the pain

The tears wanting to fall

The cries out

For a hug

For something

Anything

To make it okay

But there is nothing

But heartbreak

The only option

Is a pair of headphones

And loud music

To make it go away

To make it all okay

At least

For a moment

It is okay

Let the music

Consume you

Let it

Move through you

Let the headphones

Be your guide

Through heaven

And hell
