"Sticks and stones are hard on bones
Aimed with angry art,
Words can sting like anything
But silence breaks the heart."
~Phyllis McGinle


Why was your love always a cadence in E minor with a sad melody quick to come to a close?
Did you not see me here with my strong voice always holding every note?

The piano that I loved is abandoned now lost and quiet like feathers when they fall.
These days the only tone that rings out is your cell phone, but it won't be me who calls.

My love would have played you an orchestra with trombones and drums as I dance and I sing.
But all you wanted was a player piano and loud sex that technically had no strings.

  2. Relationships apparently can change and feelings near to an end. Adapting to changing situations are hard to stomach.Love your word-craft skills, Carrie!

  3. If delivered, Carrie, "He" got the message. loud and clear and beautifully penned. BTW, I was in these shoes once. She played me along for a year while she waited for her real boy friend who was in the service overseas. When he returned it was the total end for me.

  10. I love Bjorn's comment. Also the piano - quiet like feathers when they fall. And "I would have played you an orchestra." He missed out. Beautiful, Carrie.

  12. Can I simply say what a aid to seek out someone who truly is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know the right way to bring an issue to gentle and make it important. More people must read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you positively have the gift. casino online
