Drums

Happy Valentine's :3

I hit the snare;

Crashed the cymbals.

Ramming the pedal,

I hit the snare.

I continue to make loud noise;

Yet why does no one notice?

I slammed the ride.

I hit the snare.

I hear the strings,

I hear the singing,

But why does no one else notice?

So I hit the snare once more.

You watch me carefully,

And sang the songs I played.

I smiled and grooved the blues.

I hit the snare.

Once the song was over,

You came up to me to sing more.

Who am I stop the rhythm?

I played the snare as you sang the songs.

My arms starting to go weary,

No one but you hears the music,

But I didn’t care.

So I hit the snare.

Not even minding the time,

We had gone up ‘till early morn.

No one else heard the music,

I hit the snare.

It was quite outside

And drums didn’t match your songs.

I hit the snare

As you gasped for air and stopped.

No one else heard our songs,

But the drums are as loud as ever.

I've been hitting the snare as loud as before,

But I never noticed...

I was drumming in the air.

Not even minding the time,
We had gone up ‘till early morn.
No one else heard the music,
I hit the snare.

This is brilliant! The rhythm inclines me to keep reading,and the story relates to me as a musician. I especially love the ending; it gave me chills. Thank you for this wonderful piece of art.
