Background Melody

Heartbreak is the background melody of our life. Kissed with eyes closed tight hands hold each other but, when darkness gives way to sight the hands are far apart. He forgot how to hold on somehow, he kept walking then he found that she was gone. From far behind she called, her dreams still echoing his name, the sky is crippled by the storm and her heart burns with her shame. All that she has lost for following wherever he’d led left her the casualty of his self destruction bathed her in the reds. The background melody, fills all the space in the air crashing into her lungs, and no longer is she there.
