His Guitar: A Poem

---

WRITTEN BY EVANGELIA KARAGEORGOS.

His guitar cries out in sorrow tonight

for he is hurting once again.

She helps endure the pain he feels.

Each cord and note, tears that have been shed.

He turns to her; his oldest friend

the friend he holds most dear.

Together they have lived through

every heart break, betrayal and lost tear.

They are like one; the sum of two holes.

Confiding his emotions into her.

Strumming her strings to hear her cry,

Dark soon pours out of her.

Words flow out of him,

turning his tears into a song.

Releasing the pain he holds inside.

Crying out a death march to love lost

freeing his soul and mind.

His guitar cries out in pain with him

she hurts when they play this song.

Together they share this story

of heartache and a love now gone.
