#heavy strides

[shasskharr]

Long nights, heavy strides, and a pinch of nostalgia

Though the piano strings Hum a tune I thought I could sing

The creak of the wood Reminds me of how once I could

The viola picks up my heart Swings me about, almost tearing me apart

And yet, the iron grating of an old guitar Is what guides my tired feet to the bar

An orgy of sounds in the night Giving vent to my plight.
