Piano

The piano sings in a room of silence,

Slowly and softly, notes dance as one.

Thinking about all the violence,

I sit in the corner, shaking and numb.

Wasn't sure whether to stay or run.

The piano continues, and I burst into tears,

I'm sorry you have to see me like this here.

You knelt next to me and stared into my eyes,

kissed my salty lips and hugged me close and tight.

My tears disappeared as you wiped them away.

Happiness returns while sadness slowly fades.

Oh darling, you here at my highs and lows,

my love for you is eternal, it forever grows.

It's simple and sweet. I quite like it's charm and word use. Even though I never meet or see the characters, and no names are given. I like them. And when I'm able to love or like characters without meeting or knowing much about them, I'd call it a win!
Keep up the great work!

Great emotion and kindness shared in the poetry. You create place of sadness turned to place of love possibilities. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Jay, you know that I will read anything and everything that you write, and will give you my honest opinion.
This piece, in my opinion, is one of your best.
I particularly love this line, ¨kissed my salty lips and hugged me close and tight.¨
Love it. Since the first piece that you published, you have really progressed.
As always, keep writing.

This was really lovely and I really enjoyed reading this. I will be adding this to my favorites list as this is so pretty and a joy to read. I love the little story it tells and how you can grasp the narrators love for the other character just with the few lines of the poem.
