Got out of the car1
stepped in the door2
"Great to see you"3
she said with a smile,4
not realizing in about5
an hour or sop she'd be on the floor6
crying for help.7
And the music was blasting.8
Those lyrically 9
incompetant beats.10
She ventured off 11
to the bedroom with him,12
not realizing in two hours13
she'd completely loose 14
her virginity... unwillingly.15
And the music was still 16
playing loudly.17
Those stupid mother fucking 18
celebrities who think they know 19
what real music is.20
He turned to her 21
while they were out on the patio22
and he kissed her,23
not realizing he'd be 24
heartbroken forever.25
Those crazy love fluttered26
mumbo jumbo ballads.27
Bullshit, nothing like little boys28
trying to "say it like hallmark" does.29
He got out of bed.30
Got dressed.31
Started the ignition.32
And he was heading into freedom's 33
undercover layer.34
Jetting accross the highway35
into the sunrise.36
The music turned up as high as it could go.37
As the music got faster,38
so did he...39
until the song hit a high note. 40
There she was looking 41
at the only man 42
she'd ever loved.43
The soap opera music from44
"Days of our Lives"45
on the colour television was46
the only choice.47
The nurses were used to it now.48
The slllow bleak music 49
that foreshadows death to all50
patients.51
Her parents said it was 52
emotional anxiety.53
Sitting at the table with the 54
50's dinner music playing happily.55
She had wished their marriage was56
like before.57
Her father's blows to her head58
synchronized to the 59
beautiful orchestra.60
The six year old,61
grade one, being sent to the 62
office for the first time.63
Being exposed to "eminem"64
every night after he gets home 65
from school.66
Not knowing the difference67
between fiction and reality.68
She sits in her room all alone69
reading biographies and quotes 70
from famous dead poets.71
With a love for literature and 72
a fake love for those who 73
she could never have.74
The meaningfull music is 75
the only thing that can be heard76
as she sits in the corner of her room.77
Tears flowing because of this 78
emotional anxiety.79
This world of mayhem and chaos 80
that we will never81
ever82
escapre from.83
And then they heard the music...84

I loved the part about reading biographies and quotes from poets, and the love for lit.
It's well written

this is pretty and flowy and it has a lot of beautiful lines in it. the only thing i have trouble with is understanding the middle part. So her husband was influenced by awful music as a child and eventually raped his wife? Sounds good, correct me if ive totally missed the mark. This is fabulous keep it up. You captured the wonder of music in your poem
