The “cut it off, cut it all the way off ” Just screams “I don’t want this anymore” This holds a lot emotion

I like the brutal choice on words.

I can sense a lot of toughness from the writer.

This is slightly mentally challenging in a way that captivates the reader.

Ready for some more…

“chords crawl forward
draggin themselves
thru blood and tone”

Powerfully penned, 253. Excellent write my friend it always gets interesting when the piano is mentioned in your work. So many great lines but the one above just spoke to me. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

Favorite Stanza “Her voice was not a thing alone. It was bread for the hungry hour.”
“And love, that old thief,
crept up upon us in plain garments.
It entered by the back gate,
by the soft hand of habit,
by the little customs of living…
a glance, a shared cup,
the brush of a sleeve,
the certainty of being understood
without needing to speak too loudly.”
So many good parts. Thoroughly enjoyed this

Oh, thank you! I wrote the short form poem in the graphic many years ago about the same person, and this longer one after I came across the earlier one after not reading it for a very long time. I’m so glad you liked it!

Was he depressed or was he deep in thought and forgotten to raise his hand?
