Discord

A, D and E.
Three chords
That I taught
Myself to play
Over and over
Again. Teaching
My fingers memory
Of positions and
Of rhythms.

A, D and E.
My Mantra
My song and
My comfort
While you were gone.
The guitar felt
good in my hands.
My fingers touching
Where yours once played.

A, D and E.
Then you
Came home.
Larger than life.
I felt so small.
I never played
You my little
Three chord song.
You were gone again.

A, D and E.
Three chords
Silent now.
I held the
Smashed pieces
Cradled in my lap.
Until then I
Didn't realize how
You broke my heart.
