Get Rid Of The Advertisements

Tear
 
I sit here
as the rain falls
staring out the window
cold coffee cup in hand

The music of 'Bach'
in the background
playing as loud
as I can stand

As the music
caresses my skin
and seeps deep
into my soul

I'm so close to losing control

The violins dance
in hypnotic rapture
there harmony
an
intricate thread
of bittersweet
discord

And Then

The rattling
of the
cage begins

My eyes close
throat tightens
breath ,all but ceases to be

And I lose control
as the violins hold
that last
gut wrenching note,
as if wailing in pain

And finally
my tears begin to flow


Some call this
The cleansing of the heart
others
The rendering of the soul
