Broken Record

Ending a relationship where you were more invested than the other party.

You said all the right things,
but not what you wanted to say.
You hit all the right notes
but the tune was empty.

Yet I heard a lullaby, 
thought I heard a symphony
Written in part by you
the other half by me

But the only strings you played
were the ones inside my heart
Playing all together
But in the end were ripped apart

I thought I could trust my ears
Trust my heart and trust my brain
But my entire body failed me
My soul will never be the same

So take your broken tune
And play so you hear the melody
Because even though you were deaf
It was beautiful to me

This is very tragic, yet beautiful. I can feel the heartache. I enjoyed reading this piece, great job.

Thank you. :)
It's great to have a productive outlet for bad experiences and I very much appreciate positive reviews.

Hi, liked the content of this very much, but would have liked a better rhythm throughout, just a personal thing. Welcome to the cafe, hope you enjoy the place.

I purposefully didn't go for a perfect rhythm.
I thought it better fit the title and better showed the unbalanced nature of a one sided relationship.
I'm really glad you noticed. Thank you.
