Her

H. E. R. 

Her voice is fluid like 
Dripping melancholy melodies into my eardrums 
Her words echo through my soul
Resonating with every heart ache
Every heart break
Reading my mind
as if I told her my life story
Her colloquy speaks for me 
when I can’t find the words
Not giving too much
But just enough to make her point
I get it
I’ve lived it
Mirroring my trauma
Like a parallel universe
Creating tranquility through my chaos
Engulfed in a musical bubble 
Bursting at the seams
Freeing me from this sullen state
Vibing to her ascension of agony
Grooving to the crescendo of grief
Putting me in a trance
Mixed feelings 
With the changing of her songs
So sensual 
Got me craving that old thing
Conjuring memories of what was
What you did
How I felt
So authentic 
Knowing these feelings are fleeting 
The pain creeps back in from
What you did
How I felt
Her lyrics act as a muse
influencing my inner thoughts 
controlling my mood 
like a puppet on a string 
Her flow is reminiscent 
Of all I’ve loved
Of all I’ve lost 
Her is me.
