Sheet Music
~~~
My tears wrote a love song
On the letter you left behind
How can there be such pain
In these words, written so kind
~~~
Neatly penned small paragraphs
Capture the rhythm of my tears
And note a haunted minor melody
As the ink in tragic lines smears
~~~
A funeral dirge to love now past
Fashioned upon your final clef
And this ghosted score of romance
Now, the only thing I have left
~~~
I have heard it now, for so long
I know all the words by heart
I can see the pain that’s coming
Before the music even starts
~~~
With time, my hope, it will fade
As all the saddest songs do
And in the quiet there made
I will finally hear something new
~~~
at last the hearing new –
Thanks Beth!
My heart sank at the opening line, but was lifted at the hope at the end.
Thanks Kristian!
Lovely indeed Brad!

Absolutely! You’re very welcome brother! You too and all the best,
FBC.
here’s to hearing something new!
Such a sad piece with a message of hope at the end.
Thanks Pete!
