The Strings of the Soul

Lips trembling with the lyrics of silenced singers

Body rocking back and forth with a rhythm unheard

Fingers burning as the metal cuts into flesh 

Slowly, slowly, being consumed. 

Ears ringing with deep bass thrumbs 

Eyes shut tight against the imagined light

Heart pounding with the rapid beat 

Slowly, slowly, being consumed. 

Soul soaring with the enthralling melody 

Mind brightening with brilliant expression

Smile shining with powerful relief

Slowly, slowly, being consumed. 

Strings reverbating with clear notes 

Sound board crying out with song 

Stage filling with excited cheers 

Slowly, slowly, being consumed.
