My pencil scribbles the same words,
over and over, again
to the point where the paper
is fractured and torn underneath.

I hope, you see my words
that have been rephrased a hundred times,
and your lips, they utter a cry.
Your heart; an old piano with broken keys.

I hope, she reminds you of me,
when she talks, so softly, about my show
or when she plays my song on your mind.
I hope, my phrases cut deep,
for your heart; a guitar with broken, ripped strings.

My pen now fairs the same old words,
rephrasing each and every line, again.
The page lies fractured still;
my fingertips graze the wounds,
I hope you see my bleeding words.

I wish you'd loathe my verses,
now that winter rests upon my tongue
and has made herself comfortable.
I hope, your soul clenches a bit,
your heart; a rusty musical key with no fitting lock.

I feel velvet on my skin,
the fabric burns beneath my touch.
I hope your eyes flow a river,
your heart; a broken melody.

Perhaps, the broken glass of trust
pierces your skin too,
like my poems, I have penned in your name.
Oh, I do hope
you see all my words, and weep instead of smile.

~Sia ❤️
