How Does Heartbreak Sound? Poem by Sagi Writes

How Does Heartbreak Sound?

Rating: 5.0


language of love written in sheet music
played by heartbeats while drops fall without rain
where mellow rhythms are making my mind sick
like the melodies pounding on my brain

this star-spangled night unleashes songs of the macabre
echoing the saudade beats before the dawn's curtain falls
such a long chorus and bridge to hear the sad denouement
while a deafening silence settles on corners and walls

This beautifully written poem is truly unique, I have never heard the sound of heartbreak expressed this well before, with 'sheet music played by heartbeats while drops fall without rain'; I can hear saudade in it.
