you strum my fate
softly, fingers agilely moving
on the strings of my heart
the lyrics you sing
the chords that you play
tearing into my soul
rendering memories
acoustic sound
vibrating my pain
and depths of despair
the chords are strong
a scordatura performed
reinforcing anguish
the song complete
tears glisten
and fall
