Beautiful Music

Notes pierce the darkness
Someone plays,
In beautiful music,
A memory stays.

In eerie gloom
I stand and wait,
Minutes are agony,
You are always late

In stifling darkness
I sit alone,
And stare into flames,
You will never
Come home.

Valentine's roses,
A heart of red,
Wasted and withering,
You,
Are dead.

As daylight breaks
Shards of light,
Dance through the window,
And end the night.

Crumpled dress
Lies on the floor,
Tear stained eyes,
Still stare at the door.

Beside the window,
Your piano stands,
I will always remember
Your talented hands.

Notes pierce my darkness,
Forever you'll play,
Through beautiful music,
Our love,
Will stay
