I wrote this haiku during one of my depression-induced emotional breakdowns. As the poem suggests, someone who was very close to me recently passed away, and I was in a really hard place for a while. The only "escape" I could find was within my music. It was as if, with a push of a button, the melodies and lyrics could capture the pain I felt, and I could feel my pain unraveling itself. Thus, this poem was my attempt at capturing the feeling of letting music chase away the pain, like an escape in itself.
