The Last Chord

A rude conversation
With my own ghost
Sitting in an arm chair
My piano in ruin at his feet

Difficult fingers
Numb to feeling
Disappointed keys
Black market ivory
Slaves to ruin

Oblivious piano conversation
Slit wrists bleed into the melody
Wounded operation systems
Expectations alter memory
Abrupt form of tragedy

Difficulty feeling
Appendages shattered
Finger disappointed keys
Black market ivory
Slaves to ruin

Typing inspired conversation
Blood clotted sufferer’s melody
Death metal signal inspiration
Solved an ivory mystery
Black trade tragedy

Difficult fingers
Numb to feeling
Disappointed keys
Black market ivory
Slaves to ruin
