The Soul of An Abused Fiddle

my decrepit, shellacked, pain 
it stretches my melodic thinned soul
into flickering multi-colored 
shattered pieces 
of what could have been (Might-have-been)
of sad, no-one gives a dam tunes
stroked on loosen string 
sounding like two lovers crying in the night  
till my cracking stiffen back 
slowly bends over 
as I try an musically scrutinize 
each fallen departed melody (piece)  
but my imperfect memories  
brake my vandalize, person 
and my meek legs become weakened  
I buckle and fall shamefully 
on jagged hostile rocks
because I, let myself realize 
just how forcibly violated 
I truly am   
no truer look, need be closer  
and i fall
upon my own bed of soiled grief
shouting and crying 
only to ball up 
in a self aware hate
I loathe, you singing liar 
not because you stolen
my words on paper 
but how you came about it 
hurting little souls and tiny young fingers 
to reach your goals  
just to sing 
on a glittering cover hell-bound stage
