Off Key Love

You were the music, the love in my ears
The notes of your melody
Just filled me with cheer
I knew you were accessible
I learned everything
My ears were always open
To the sound of your Hymn

We laughed and we loved
We danced and we played
This music of love
That lasted for days

We talked in the morning
The sound of your voice
Playing the serenade
Of love to rejoice
I gave you my heart
My ears and my soul
I listened to you
Where my heart could not go

I embraced every lyric
Every note that you made
You were the temperament
Of my heart that you played

Now I'm an instrument
Left out of tune
No artist to play me
A song that is doomed
I gave you my rhythm
I gave you my pitch
I would not have done so
Had I known my heart you would ditch
