Today I sang the song of you
in monochromatic blue,
palest hue
as winds blew in from the north,
chilling me to the bone.
Once again,
I am alone.
How was I to know the song
we sang together would die
giving birth to the chorus
of Love?
The notes are all flat.
Minor notes they were, to your ears.
For me? a major crescendo.
A cacophony of turbulent emotions
tossed about recklessly,
like some 3rd rate rock 'n roll.
And now all I can do
is sit here and sing
in monochromatic blue,
missing you.
Once again,
I am alone.

When the music we hear is not the same it indeed can be just as you describe in these lines...

sad piece...

This is a sad write.  One, I hope, born from your imagination and not of reality.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

How sad. Yet still a good write.

Cold hands means a warm heart

This, is when I put on a lot of "old" Bonnie Raitt, and just wallow in it.

Oh Kacy, sometimes the songs fade way to quickly.  And sometimes a little blues cures what hurts inside....well done writing hon.  Hugs.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...
