Eardrums ruptured by a deafening silence
Tear ducts bursting open to the weight of scorching tears
As a river bank submits to flood waters
A blink of an eye sends streams of bitter liquid down steep cheeks
….as lovers part ways

As lovers part ways without biding farewells
As their union is abruptly torn without as much as a whisper
The stomach turns to the sickening realization of a love lost
As lovers part ways without a word

Memories flood the brain as though to drown the grey matter
A torrent of vivid images, of shared laughs and playful moments
A torrent of vivid images, of shared laughs and playful moments
As dreams fade away into the chasm of pain and sorrow
Not even gin can cure the excruciating heart.
Hating love songs ‘cause they cut through the heart with blunt blades

Their love once inspired colorful portraits painted on imagined canvas  
Their union once a masterful composition played by an orchestra of angels
She was the melody in his song
He was the harmony in her tune
Together they were poetry in motion

Eardrums ruptured by a deafening silence
Tear ducts bursting open to the weight of scorching tears
As a river bank submits to flood waters
A blink of an eye sends streams of bitter liquid down steep cheeks
….as lovers part ways
