Pathway of Love: Dissonance

 

Our song flowed,

Evenly in,

Perfectly out,

Our harmony.

 

Falling out of rhythm,

Something not quite right,

Can’t quite understand this,

Our broken symphony.

 

It begins to grate,

Screeching in my ears,

Shattering glass,

Others begin to

 notice,

That we

aren’t quite right.

 

 

Where’s harmony?

It’s begun to

 break,

I can’t quite

shake

This unrest,

And maybe our best

days together

are

gone.

 

Can’t we stop playing,

We’re just pretending,

And everyone’s

 staring,

This is so

demanding,

It’s become

maddening.

 

Faster, slower,

Louder, quieter,

Just keep our

Show together

Maybe it’ll

Be restored to

some consistency.

 

But the routine is

Breaking my hands.

Breaking

My

Hands.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Done as part of a project for Ha Jin's waiting. This is symbolic of Lin's relationship with Manna in respect to other couples that start off strong but seem to break down as time goes on.  Both parties want to restore to the way they used to feel or simply are unwilling to break away from each other resulting a jagged and flawed relationship that wears down on each individual.
