Examine my heart

Worn smooth from use
polished and gleaming
fear dances with me

a slow waltz
all at once familiar
and strange

the bars of a tune
being played just
out of key

desire is a demanding
master, practicing
hours past reason

on the note's surface
my heart's tone
plays like opera, mournfully

underneath...Tension builds
releasing my soul
in musical fury
