My fingers remembered songs
even after their calluses had softened from neglect.
They bled to play them again.

What a beautiful and poetic sentiment!
It’s incredible how you packed such feeling into three lines! “Calluses…softened from neglect” is an impressive and fitting image.
So much said in 3 lines!
Great image:
calluses had softened from neglect.
They bled to play them again.
This is my kind of stigmata!
