sound of a heartbreak

sound of a heartbreak

A Poem by highonwords
"

i can't play the piano to save my life, but it is my favorite musical instrument

"


i've never played the piano,
in years, since you became deaf
from listening when your heart
is far from listening to me,
don't be startled if we meet
and i don't say a word,
my love has a strong voice,
up my mind, beyond the stars,
so i'll just whisper goodbye,
which i hope you don't hear,
i don't want to hurt you,
even if, between us,
you've always been the loud one,
the stronger, i can't stand
for anyone to hear a heart break

selective hearing---and it is heartbreaking when one doesn't want to listen to us anymore...

and we hope that person can't hear our heartbreak...but i am sure he or she does...and probably hears those notes as we hit the keys of regret.
