Enchanting Melody

The soothing melody tickles my ears,
the bass drums against the heart deep within my chest.
The lead singer's voice slowly snakes itself into the rhythm.

About love he preaches,
in the song he teaches.

From his lips
his heart sings.

My chest collapses at the sorrow and longing coming from my speakers.

Underneath his cries of rhyme
lays a story worth telling,
only to be taught with screams and yelling.

His words are twin hands,
ripping apart my heart with every
verse.

The beat fades,
my heart numbs.

His voice silences,
but his words are
forever adrift in the back of my mind.
