Breaking Down Chestwall Poem by Doris Cornago

When all is gone and nowhere to go

I run to the place I've found you

Where soft breeze play among leaves

birds on boughs heavy with fruits

my feet light never touching ground

laughter fills the air, not a care

We are two children forever together...


Where did you go, why did you leave

Are you afraid we cannot last together

We were so happy, were the gods jealous?

we cannot be controlled we were strong

So strong working together than alone

Your strength became my own, fearless

When you can make me see all that I am...


Music goes on, guitar strings waver

Tempo now changes, trumpets blare

A slow mournful tune fills the air

Cymbals clanging, drums resonating

Guitar goes on again I'm aware

of angry downbeats, own heartbeats

breaking down chestwall, overflowing...
