My broken strings weep in silence
The remnants of a final discord, struck in anger
As you had sat in that bleak brown chair
Your hands gripped around me
Pain taking over as your eyes clouded
Hurling me across the bare room
And leaving me to die
A vintage model, natural mahogany and rosewood crafted together
A showpiece you had proudly cherished
Her gift to you
On your 30th birthday
How did she know?
You had pined for me your whole life
Never thinking you'd ever own me
She would not tire of hearing us perform
Always requesting her favourite song
The lively jig, talking of sunshine and daisies
Her skirt trying to keep up as she twirled blissfully
No cares in the world
The same reason you took me there tonight
To show her once more the love you had lost
The sweetest serenade
Played outside her window
Just like a scene from a classic movie
She was meant to rush into your arms
“And, they lived happily ever after”
A cheesy romance
Except, that isn’t what happened
So, here we are…
Cold and alone
Together in remorse
Heartbroken
My broken strings weep in silence
The remnants of a final discord, struck in anger
As you had sat in that bleak brown chair
Your hands gripped around me
Pain taking over as your eyes clouded
Hurling me across the bare room
And leaving me to die
A vintage model, natural mahogany and rosewood crafted together
A showpiece you had proudly cherished
Her gift to you
On your 30th birthday
How did she know?
You had pined for me your whole life
Never thinking you'd ever own me
She would not tire of hearing us perform
Always requesting her favourite song
The lively jig, talking of sunshine and daisies
Her skirt trying to keep up as she twirled blissfully
No cares in the world
The same reason you took me there tonight
To show her once more the love you had lost
The sweetest serenade
Played outside her window
Just like a scene from a classic movie

“And, they lived happily ever after”
A cheesy romance
Except, that isn’t what happened
So, here we are…
Cold and alone
Together in remorse
Heartbroken
