holding a tune

My heart's guitar
plays your tune
amidst the dissonance of pain
an unfortunate minor
as you speak of love
and don't mention my name
hope's arpeggio
plays over and over and over
and over
as I hold on to a string
that could fall out of tune

when you come back, we could create worlds
with
your voice
my hands
our love

but now
my lethargic fingers
massage warn old heartstrings
amidst the dissonance of pain
