Poems of Pain and Solitude

Heartstrings

Melodies that ring in my ears.

Harmonies that resonate in my empty heart.

Notes that echo in my broken soul.

Tell me how to hear it again,

The music that used to escaped your fingers,

Reach into me, deep in my within.

You tugged at my heartstrings,

Created meodies as a harp,

They rocked me to sleep and whispered to me.

They sang me delicacy and softness

They sang me lullabies to sleep

They sang me the love you never gave me.

But now that you're gone the music is gone

How do I fall asleep without you?

Tug at my heartstrings again, love.

I need your beauteous harmonies

To caress me gently at night when I cry

In the dark, alone, in this lonesome world.

You played the best songs

You played with my heartstrings

You played with my heart.


You played and played and played,

Until your soul and hands tired of pulling this music,

It turned into screeches into screams of horror on the night.

I want it back, my love.

I still need your music,

I still crave for the same notes again,

I still yearn to hear it one last time.

I need your music,

I need your love,

I need you.

Love, before you're gone

Tug at my heartstrings again,

Sing to me before I fall asleep and drift away.
