Delicate porcelain
wrapped in lace,
music that keeps
a steady pace.

When left ajar
your melody rings,
but when closed
a lonliness stings.

I long to hear
your dying chime,
so I reach out
and just rewind time.

I sway to your
eerie beat
and yearn for that
sound so sweet.

Until I get reckless
and you die with a crash,
now your beauty
lies in the trash.
