Heart String Sorrows

For a friend I have hurt deeply...played in the key of final farewell

 

Heart String Sorrows

 

Sadness plays my heart strings

With a bow of rosin’d guilt

Tear drops stain the notes upon the page

 

Sorrowed cello whispers

Of a soundless worry wilt

Harmonies distorted in this rage

 

Out of tune concertos

Fall as fractured cymbals blare

Steady as the beat of gathered pain

 

Broken mirror rhythms

Sit upon the favored chair

Misery in musical refrain

 

Violin’d distractions

Born of melodies so thin

Echoing performed apologies

 

A cappella opus

In a prelude to the hymn

Composed for you in all sincerity

 

 

 

  

 

 

Author's Note

I did not write this poem looking for sympathy. I am the ass here...

I can't imagine you being an a*s, but we've all had those moments at one time or another. Regardless, you have a beautiful heart and it shines in this gorgeous poem. You will be missed my sweet friend.
Hugs, Julie

Oh how I feel the despair within this piece. This is very well written and very sincere.

An apology has to be accepted and while the artistry and sincerity of your poem could help, sometimes we have to live with what we have done.. LEARN and never repeat again with anyone else (and perhaps too with the one you hurt if your apology is acceptable). For what it's work my friend, it took me almost 5years after my first wife left before I could look in the mirror again. I never got the chance to apologize for being an a*s. I hope that I am a better human for it and I have written many poems of apology (none posted here at WC). I know you are sorry and also want to take back the hurt. Also know it's up to her, just be a human being, not a man.

The strings of your poem did vibrate sorrow Jack, they also vibrated with love and humanity. Be well my friend... ~~redzone

There is room for forgiving and forgetting, in every friendship. I am sure in your's too. Come back soon.

The world is harsh when the music we make is discordant. I hope that the melodies return in perfect harmony.
