Piano
The keys are pressed
Resounding a delightful tune
Tones rising and falling
The tune that of power
The music tells a story
Each beat upon the key
Striking the piano string
Swelling forth desirable sounds
Its floods through my soul
Taking over the mind
Showing forth the images of bliss
Sorrow is in this song
Of love, lost and not found
The trial of pain
Swarming around my entire being
Engulfing me to its own oblivion
Taking me to places only the music knows
Lost now, I am forever
The beat slowing down
Revealing the depth of loves first pace
Cautious to protect the heart
So beautiful
Such as it is, with love
But, tragedy strikes
The keys are banged
Faster and faster the tune
Taking me further into the chaos
Swimming about in this void
The turmoil of losing love
Having it ripped from thy soul
Climax of the piece
Of which the heart is torn
The music slows, slows,… slows
Soothing the mind
Attempting to bring peace to it
But then, robs the soul of that pleasure
Just simply ending on the lowest of notes
Such is … the pain of love
The piano stops playing
