Echoes.

And then

I heard her voice.

I didn't even have to see

her face.

That sound,

it struck a chord

deep in my soul.

It will take me awhile

to calm the resulting vibrations,

the storm she aroused within me.

Her memory

echoes through my bones,

making me long

for the day

the strings that tie us together

finally give way

and my bones

fall silent.

But it seems,

for now,

the sound is still too bittersweet

to wish I wasn't

familiar with it.
