you played me like a mandolin, striking notes like broken glass in the space between your wayward sheets. your hands were my compass, your eyes the Adriatic Sea- and I plunged into the depths like an albatross, fawning over wide open spaces and beautiful colors.
yes, you played me like a symphony, my body ebbing and flowing in ghastly syncopation. notes like honeysuckle and lilac coursing through my bloodstream- capillaries to venules to veins to the vena cava and straight on into my heart.
and you'd be ecstatic to know that I haven't heard such a haunting refrain since you went away.
