There is so little difference between the cop yelling hold hold hold hold hold and the warble of an opera tenor
Between the
Between silent waiting for the baton and silent just drowned
This is the symphony you left me in
A place not even you can return to
Alone in these sounds I tried to write in rests, I tried to pull your part clear out of the cacophony but you
In your symptoms could not see the tsunami
I wrote timpani warnings and piccolo shrieking in for the depth and pace of my own panic, which you did not see or could not acknowledge
They will try, soon, to diagnose me with bipolar for those highs and lows, written always in counterpoint to you
Symphony that did not belong to me, chaos I did not know could be orchestrated by someone who loved me
