Stringless Violin

She is a violin with no strings,

With stagnant silence wrapped around her

Its sweaty fingers clasped tightly over her lips

Her bow was snapped in half long ago

The fibers shredded, her once-warbling soul

Might as well be dead.

She sees the cellos dancing with their bows, creating melodies so sweet

And she frantically tries to escape the binds

But she can't find the courage, and

She doesn't know how to sew herself together again

Her shiny coating is going dim

And she has jumped to the conclusion

That she will never be fixed

A girl hanging from the wall, watching

The other amber instruments being plucked and played

While she is useless, a voiceless violin.
