Broken Keys

• Artist: Noretaku
• Description: I wrote this early this morning while listening to a very pretty compilation of sad piano music. I know it does not really rhyme well..but I feel it has some sort of...pull to it when read slowly. I apologize...I haven't written poetry in years...I want to start again and although my poems tend to be sad, it is only because I find sadness so beautiful and the most depressed people, when they open up to you, have the most interesting views of the world.

When you touch me
You are stroking broken keys...
Fingers gracing empty air
Searching for what once was there
Yet far across some lonely plane
I can hear you call my name
I can feel your trembling touch
and I yearn for you so much
Then all I hear is broken song
It endlessly drags me along
Yet the closer I become
The farther you have gone...
Keep caressing those cracked keys...
Never stop searching for me
I am somewhere deep inside
I cannot resist the need to hide
Yet far across some lonely plane
I can hear you call my name
My heart yearns to sing along
To this melancholy song...
