rhythm

I closed my eyes
and let you sing to me,
the melody hugging me
as you never could.
I let the words kiss my cheeks,
as you never would.
The drums beat hard
against my ribs,
and guitar strings
    snapped!
deep in my mind.
Inside, I broke free,
pulsating wildly
to the rhythm of a dream.
When the dance was done
I opened my eyes
to see silence.
