Musical Comfort

I sit at the piano.
And think of the past days.

You and I were so happy.
Every time you laughed, I would smile with joy.
Each touch seemed like a dream.
Each kiss was enchanting.
Each 'I Love You' was worth pounds of gold.
I just wanted to be with you.
Happily Ever After.
But she came.
Told lies behind my back.
You believed her.
She stole your heart.
She broken mine.
Every time you laughed, I cried because it was for her not me.
Every time you touched, I saw red because it was for her not me.
Every time you kissed I would feel pain because it was for her not me.
Every time you said 'I Love You' my heart would break more because it was for her not me.
We broke up.
After weeks of lying and backstabbing.
We broke up.
Said we were better off as friends.
Each one of your calls went to voicemail.
Each text, I deleted.
Each time I ignored you.

I now sit at the piano.
And I lay my fingers on the ivory tiles.
I play.
I play about times when I was happy.
And the music chases away my fears and worries.
It envelops on a comforting blanket.
As I keep playing.

Yes truly it is. Music heals every pain and brings happiness into life. I loved the lines, the feel in it, pain and the heart break.
Beautifully written.

I love how the main body of the poem is a flashback, which explains the context of the (comparatively) mundane present. Also, the gradient of hatred for the reader progressed at a solid pace. Save for some grammar issues ("She broken mine" should be "She broke mine", and some forgotten commas), I really liked this.

Thank you so much. I'm trying expand my vocabulary and grammar. It's hard to have to search up how to do this or that. It's really helpful when you post advice on how to improve. Again, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
