he used to sing love songs
for all the world to hear
now he sits silent,
melodies hanging
like webs of deceit
across broken heart strings

Well I was wondering if anyone would use that title - not one of the easier ones to work with. Good job with it, expressing love as a song that is all often played loudly and frequently in the initial stages and then peters out to a whisper or even gets hidden among the dusty records in the corner when comfort or boredom sets in.
