Play demented
Melodies
On ivory keys
Out of tune
Sharp and flat
Empty notes
No resemblance
Of the music
It once was
Tragedy
Hammered against
Diseased strings
Beautiful ebony
Polished
Grand stature
Tortures
Poor souls
Daring to listen

I really love this. It's very simple and beautiful, and so true.

I did really well in the Lit part of school, but was horrible when it came to interpretation of things like poetry. I know this isn't about pianos. I would need more coffee to figure out the rest. It was beautiful though.
@ April: Thank you so much ♥ (((HUG))) I'm glad you like it!
@ Jeeves: Thank you! I'm glad you liked that ending :)
@ Skittles: "Ivory keys" was originally "piano keys" :D It was a quick write, and I looked at it after I posted and decided to change it to ivory...I liked that the instrument isn't named. It can be interpreted to how the reader perceives it though. Thank you..I'm glad you liked it.
