Soliloquy

I have misplaced my friend
or maybe I am the one who's lost?
Ray's been away for days/it feels like months.
The keys just lie there, untouched.
Part of me has retreated,
like it does when I've lost someone I love.
Part of me knows how he feels-
The other part?
That is what's missing.
Come back, brother.
The music can be replaced,
but the friend cannot.
