# # The Song Remains The Same Poem by Sonya Florentino

# # The Song Remains The Same

Rating: 5.0


You have morphed into a guitar
You’ve been transformed into musical notes
You have become
a plaintive song in my heart

That was all you were
That is all you are
That is all you'll ever be

I have said goodbye
I've thrown water to the fire

But still... the guitar weeps
Still... the silenced heart beats
