...and cue music!

Today's prompt has arrived right on schedule. I've been itching to try my hand at writing lyrics and now we've been challenged to write a poem inspired by our favourite kind of music. I can't wait!

Now, I happen to like several different genres and performers, but I've had one particular song in my head for a few days. Perhaps I will try to write my own lyrics to the rhythm...or at least part of the song.

Don't go 

Could you not,

Could not go far away?

Not today -

I'll miss it all

Could you stay?

Could you not just stay today?

Don't fade away -

I'll miss it all

Tell me, can you turn back time?

I need you now -

don't turn me down

Tell me, can turn back time?

Just turn around

and tell me that you'll stay

I wish you weren't leaving today,

If only I could make you stay,

don't go, don't go, don't go,

don't you go away
