Heart Stereo

She turned the stereo off
this time.

Usually she just changes the
channel;

but not this time.

She couldn't bear to hear the
first line

Of a song that only reminds her
of you.

So she turned the stereo
off.

But her heart knew the words the
stereo

Couldn't say...
Wasn't allowed to say.

The silence couldn't drown them
out.

Nor could the Nebraska air blasting
in the window.

So she turned the stereo on,
put in a mix and sang at the

Top of her lungs.
