I play this song for you

Fingertips against the ivory

Each note crafted from my heart

Written in this poem for the eye to see

Every tear, smile, and laugh

Play out like arpeggios on the staff

Broken chords from shattered swords

Used in the war of love

Tired of fighting

Tired of trying

My soul has bore a dove

For our love was that dove I bore

And watched fly away

Praying for its return

With an olive branch

That day

Will never come

That's why I play this song for you

Filled with chords of metaphors

And emotions that are true

Some notes are filled with tears

That may damper petals

On the flower of your conscious

Which has become hard as metal

All that is left is the waning echoes

Bouncing of the walls

From our song that played

Night and day

Romancing the narrow halls

Of my soul

Now cold and barren

I cry out in these keys

Which pierce the darkness

Like the winter's breeze

A soliloquy of silence

That falls on your deafened ears

A melody of love

Which you refuse to hear

So I play this song in silence

Futilely on my hollow piano

An ode to a river deep with love

Which has suddenly

Become so shallow.

Nice. I dig.

Nice. I dig.


Thanks I thought it was over the top... lol

Naw, I love the ending too. Of course, I'm all into the artsy stuff now that my heart broke. Been listening to Radiohead a lot. It isn't dark with a hint of melancholy. I could see that played acoustically on a guitar in Adagio as they say. Almost like Tears in Heaven by Clapton. Using the arpeggio technique would be cool to like three chords with different notes just constantly.

It's beautiful!

It's beautiful!


Thank you I appreciate that.
