The Death of Love

Teddy.15

 
And as my shaking hand 
reaches out reluctantly 
yet again 
 
to pick up my faithful violin 

I hear my heart finally speak,  
words plain in my ears
 
it said no, no, no more
 
my only obvious question is to myself 
 
why, why has my heart finally chosen to speak to me now?
 
It could have spoken up long ago 
 
and if it did 
 
maybe, just maybe 
 
I wouldn't be sitting in this emergency room 
 
desperately hoping... 
 
to receive a transplant.

    A fictional write Teddy?
    Before I make some daft comment which may not be appropriate. Oops!

    • Teddy.15

      fire away my friend lol i'm not here to be treated with tweezers, i expect nothing less from you old friend. lol 🤣

        I didn't want to be crass, if this is not fictional.
        I was gonna say 'You playing the same old tune on that violin? Has a string(s) broken? You skinned a cat to get catgut for the bow?'
        Though catgut doesn't come from cats.😁

            'Crass' is 'showing no intelligence or sensitivity' - the way I always behave with KP! lol. I blunder on selfishly, pig-headed, all the same things as she does - except I've no botox. lol.

            • Teddy.15

              it is non fiction lol 🤣

              Broken heart transplant! Often times going through the experience is the only way we'll listen and learn. Harsh? Sometimes....but if we can grasp the lesson, the pain can feel....just a LITTLE be less...cruel. Thank you for sharing this Teddy! I know it's not easy! 💖 💖💖

              • Teddy.15

                My dear Liz, your empathy is pure, it's not something I am currently going through however I have gone through it, as most of us humans do. Thank you dear friend. ❤️

                      Ouch & double ouch .. I know you can hit hard Teddy, but I sure was not expecting the kidney punch .. I trust this is not autobiographical ..

                      if it is, you can have any part of me you need .. ❤️

                      • Teddy.15

                              The imagery you wrote into this leaves the reader with understanding, sympathy and empathy. A remarkable write with hopes this was past.

                                Dear Michael thank you for your wonderful words, I am truly blown away with pride. Thank you. 💖

                                I'm struggling to comment on this
                                Let's just say I'm glad I can

                                • Teddy.15

                                  Then thank you for being here dear Peto. I'm so very glad too. 💖

                                  If you could replace your violin-heart with any other instrument, what would it be? Your poem says you were a violinist. Is or was, that true? Your poem brings to light the plight of many musicians. I'm sure many have faced the moment where they must choose to change instruments or to stop playing completely. - Phil A.

                                  • Teddy.15

                                    Dear Phil, you have seen a different side to this and I am so very honoured, the reader must interpret each poem read, this is about a broken heart, I choose the violin simply because for me it represents such emotion when played and like You yourself said it's the only instrument that can cry. Thank you dear friend. 💖 if I could play I would definitely play the violin if I couldn't play violin I'd play base guitar there is certainly a rock chic in me.

                                    This could be taken literally or figuratively in the sense of a broken heart. Although I don't wish either it would be better if it were the second. A hard hitting poem either way.

                                      Dear Sorenbarret yes, it could and thank you so much for coming by to leave such a kind review 💖

                                      'scars to your beautiful'
                                      we seldom get timing right
                                      between our heart's and eyes
                                      we see, we fantasize
                                      our heart warns, but tries to keep up
                                      then we burn and we learn
                                      that next time
                                      we let our heart, dictate
                                      wait
                                      till we have more than hope
                                      to step on and form our paths
                                      before we approach
                                      or reciprocate
                                      and with our heart's guidance
                                      we choose to believe
                                      no regrets!
                                      when we fall for the true thing
                                      because come what may
                                      we know we'll grow..
                                      (i'm sorry for the pain
                                      than inspired these words, my friend
                                      a brave write, love the defiant voice
                                      soar high, dear Poetess
                                      smile BRIGHT
                                      let the world hear you Roar!)
