Strumming the tunes of her heart

Strumming the tunes of her heart

Headphones cover her ears and the volume is screaming. You'd swear her ears would be bleeding. This is her heaven, her sanctuary, her home away from home in her room with her tunes. Angelic hums escape her throat as she mimics the rhythm of her music. Raining tears swim down her cheeks caused by emotions aroused by the sounds. She can't take much more, her headphones hit the floor and she reaches for her true love. The one thng that will never leave her. She cradles the being into a comfortable position and recalls her lessons. With her delicate, slim fingers, she trails the neck and plucks a string. A song begins to form with every caress she makes, every tear that escapes. "A song for you" is the name of her tune. "Just a simple song of my love." The sound spreads from her room and consumes the whole house for all to hear. The words following her tunes in a voice some would call "beautiful". Her love for another other then her guitar. None shall know. Then a snap. In a moment it's over. Broken string and the end of her show, she's forced to return to her headphones.
