The pull on your heart strings that remind you of

The sorrow and regret troubled mind can’t forget.

Chances lost, potential cut off, what could have been, what might have been;

Strums another note of regret.

As the years progress, time they say heals a broken heart

But a chance reminder, a place or sound

Silent plucking continues and falls to the ground.

Those around, unaware of the soft lament you play

Hidden beneath the smile you wear every day.

If you confide you might find that others too

Have plucked a discordant note or two.

So you are not alone with your lonely heart..

It does not mean life will fall apart.

For the very harmonics of the above,

Teach us the mysterious lessons of Love.
