Musical Heartbreak

A tender heart ripping suddenly in two

Like the loud crash of the cymbals.

 

Tears flowing smoothly down pink cheeks

As clarinets ring in chords of pain.

 

Her happy smile turning to a frown

Is as though a saxophone rings in a low solo.

 

Him letting go of her hand in dislike

Flutes bring in a mournful duet.

 

The soul once so filled with love, now empty

The french horns ring in with eighth notes.

 

Dreams of what she could have had now fake

Bright trumpets decrescendo into nothing.

 

The love she once had now gone so suddenly

Like an unclear cutoff of a beautiful song.

    Wow. Seriously. Wow. This is amazing, it's my favorite poem you've written. I really love this. I love the musical references and the way you perfectly tie it in to heartbreak. It broke my heart at least.

    Magnificant

    Purley a work of true art. Combining music with poetry is the best kind of poetry I believe. Good show
