The Orchestra

The notes my heart are playing
You can’t seem to hear
You go on with your pretty life
While I am stuck here

That invisible piano is playing
Saddest notes ever composed
Everytime you look towards me
I feel oh so exposed

Can you see how you broke my heart?
Can you see the broken strings?
Can you feel how my soul is torn apart?
Can you hear what your ignorance brings?

Violins are playing in the back ground
Notes that have never been played
Bringing tears to those who listen
Hearing about how you have strayed

A heartbroken
Listen carefully
Notes sway in the air
Tears fall from icy eyes

The orchestra tonight will play forever more
Those broken notes you caused
I turned my heartbreak beautiful from what you tore

Can you see what you have given me?
A broken heart and oh so much more
Can you hear the music I made from me?
All which comes back to me and what you tore….

Author notes

    Romantic angst that can cut through the cold in one's own heart. The questions are ones that all should ask!

    The metaphoric sense in this is gripping
    I love the depth within as you write the truth of within yourself and the relationship between you and your Dad well


    Stay safe

    I think this is beautifully written. So much sadness in these words. I liked your word choice. You have been hoodwinked by a Poetic Bandit.

    A good poem that speaks to evryone on their own level, with a grand theme of music and what feelings really mean.

    I liked how you continually brought the poem back to what you feel and I think that is why it seems so important when I read it. I liked the music references too. Cheers

    I can so relate to missing my father he abandoned me when I was three months old I am now 49 and two years ago I finally found him but we have yet to meet in person, he left such a big void in my life. It is hard growing up without a father I always wanted to be a Daddy's girl. Your poem is so touching and pulled at my heartstrings. Thanks for sharing. hugs Theresa
