Music Carriers

My headphones are like woven string,
like an extension of my being, music
pumping through them like blood,
until my favourite song comes on,
and all the bottled-up emotions leave
in a flood.
My headphones are the carriers
of the music, the ones I go to for love.
They are filled with memories
of sharing music, of smiles when
my favourite song comes on.
They are an escape, an
adventure and instant relief
like glasses, the only way I see clearly.
