Tunes

I've stopped listening to music
I wonder why
When tunes were for as long as I can remember
The apple of my eye

Loud songs, mellow melodies
I truly like each one
Yet now they've fallen by the way side
From my memory they've gone

I blame a short commute
Five minutes my route
Listening to 'Today'
With no trips planned
Can understand
My music-less dismay

I'm taking stock
Of broken iPod dock
My assistant when I cook
Bin it today
Without delay
Or a second look

But how can I relieve my malady
This tuneless world of mine
For it used to accompany me in all I do
Decorate, relax, drink wine

And, somehow, I don't see an end
To this cycle that I'm in
May be, music's lost it's hold on me
Time to throw it in the bin
