Love's favorite instrument, pain;

What would Love's favorite things in the world be; what colors, foods, books, and instruments would Love favor? Would she enjoy sweet tea on a hot day, what music would she like? just some thoughts...

Lost love hangs heavy in the air,

and I'm still pretending that I don't care.

Trying not to break my glassy heart,

while playing loves icy harp.

my fingers fumble,

I urge them not to freeze and tremble.

I didn't know something so cold,

could burn and blister,

revealing scars so old.

Author's Note

just midnight thought.

Well, howdy, Jinx 🌾
Hope you'll stick around....

Sheesh!
How much stronger can an introduction line get than, "Lost love hangs heavy in the air," … then, following that with, "and I'm still pretending that i don't care."
Every line wreaks of feelings and emotions so openly raw, honest, and deep; but, it's not just that, it's the imagery, metaphor, diction, syntax, and everything else that makes a Free Style poem dance and sing to the mind's-eye.
Do you mean, "revealing [scars} so old"?
If you haven't already, go to https://getadblock.com and do a free install of AdBlock … I'd not wish to see you discouraged by all the ads on an otherwise fantastic site.
Oh, and add an apostrophe to "Love's" in your title … it's a bit confusing without it. ; )

You're good, Jinx, unique, and just original enough to hold a bard's interest … already, from your pen name, I can tell we're in for a real treat … "just "midnight thought", indeed!
Thanks a zillion for sharing a part of You, Lady-Poet ⁓ Richard 🍃

I'm excited to know that you looked beyond the surface of my piece to further understand the imagery I had attempted to create :) also thank you for the tip about the adds._.very kind of you, I despise them with a passion.
