Literary: Our Music

I could have been:

The words of her song

The melody in his piece

The notes were all in place

But there were broken keys

I wanted to dance with her

I wanted to sing with him

Yet we had no harmony

And there was no rhythm

I would have:

Brightened her tone

Lowered his key

Just the way (s)he would

Have wanted it to be

But my music isn’t hers

His tune isn’t mine

If we had the same tempo

We would’ve been fine

But we sang our own verses

We sang our separate solos

Like beautiful cadenzas

From different concertos

There could be no duet

No graceful symphony

There is no grand finale

To our story

Welcome
