Sherri Gagliardi Poems

You play me a song with no words-

You make me listen to your heart, in music
but there is an empty hole where the lyrics are left unwritten
...

Those wretched things I want-
I know could be so good.
The things that I can not touch- or have-
in my sickness I’d take them all if I could.
...

The theory of evolution
Of a broken, bleeding heart
Comes naturally by selection
When two souls are torn apart
...

And so you leave me
And fine
I’ll go. I’ll go with my tail between my legs
Because I know I’m not wanted
...

The Best Poem Of Sherri Gagliardi

A Song Without Words

You play me a song with no words-

You make me listen to your heart, in music
but there is an empty hole where the lyrics are left unwritten

I tell you to write them
hoping for a glimpse into your soul

But there are still no words in the song
you hide your feelings behind the music

So I wait
To hear
What can not be heard

I wait impatiently, patient
I hope anxiously, calm
I dream painfully, soothed
