Melancholic Violin

A mournful melody on the violin,
Echoes of a heart that's been broken in,
The strings vibrate with a melancholic tone,
A tale of love lost, forever gone.

Each note pierces through the soul,
A symphony of pain that takes its toll,
The violin speaks with a voice so pure,
A heart-wrenching sound that's hard to endure.

The bow moves gently, with such grace,
And the violin takes us to another place,
A place where sorrow reigns and tears fall,
A place where memories haunt and love stalls.

The notes dance like flames of a fire,
And the violin becomes a true desire,
A desire for a love that once was real,
A desire to feel again, to fully heal.

The violin speaks of a love so true,
Of a heart that's been shattered, feeling blue,
But it also speaks of hope, of a new start,
Of a new love waiting, to mend the heart.

So let the melancholic violin play,
And let the tears fall where they may,
For in its sad and mournful sound,
A new love may yet be found.
