What do you think this poem is about?

A Broken Heart's Song

A broken heart's song,
Starts out slow.
A confusion of melodies,
With easy flow.

Keys of a piano,
Play a sad tune.
But nothing compared,
To what comes soon.

Strings of violins,
Add to the gloom.
The broken heart's song,
Fills the room.

Confusion fades,
The hurt settles in.
As a Theremin's cry,
Creeps under the skin.

The pain is too much,
For the broken heart.
As the days go by,
The anger starts.

The beating of drums,
From hitting the wall.
The crash of cymbals,
As you begin to fall.

From confusion to pain,
To anger, now hate.
Guitars scream out,
As the music dilates.

Then suddenly it stops,
You remember when.
The broken heart's song,
Starts over again.

    A broken heart is hard to mend
    For love is something you cannot lend.
    Your description is heartfelt and perfect And the pain is certainly felt. Musically pleasant verses

    If only I could put so much feeling into poem. Tis beautiful. I feel elation when ever you talk about the drums, piano, and violins. When the heart breaks, music captures all of the emotions. You made me feel for the broken heart.... Thanks for sharing.
    Sincerely,
    Lyda Mery

    Powerful and spellbinding, I’m normally not a sucker for love poems, but this was just excellent. Anyone who can make me like a love poem deserves a 10!
