a musicians lament

i can hear it in my head
       rising and falling
       crescendo
             accelerando
       quickening and slowing
the strings picking at my heart
with each bending tone

and i sing along with the melody of time
this dirge of regret
       ringing with pain
striking the chord
       and making me remember
each painful note
       bleeding through
filling my thoughts with visions of yesterday
each downbeat a deathknell
       resounding deep inside this hollow frame

no way to stop these feelings
this rising flood of sound that builds within my brain
bringing back the memories
       the hopes
       the dreams
in one rush of emotion

and i can hear it in my head
       rising and falling
unstopping
       each crescendo bringing me closer to the edge
as the music builds
       a symphony of chaotic wonder
the strings picking at my heart
with each lonely bending note

do you ever hear music in your head...and it is driving you crazy? feeding off your emotions and making you feel even worse than you should?

not one of my best...but i tried...maybe i'll try to revise it later...suggestions?

i like this for the imagery of music/words, esp. for capturing that feeling of a song you can't seem to escape from...
this is weird, but your pic. looks so much like my bf (spunefed) and your names are so similar, i'm not entirely convinced you are different people. ? maybe that's just me.
