untitled

before you came along
everything was dark; bleak
shades of gray
i couldn't believe it
yet there you were
playing a most wonderful
lovely
melody on my heart strings
and i let you in
but something changed
altered by fate
or some such bullshit
turning your major chords
to minor
slowing the melody
written for me alone
and as you play
you wish there was an audible heart beat
to keep time
but my heart beats are irregular
and at this point, you can't have both the melody and the beat
i am your incomplete song
the bane of your existence
and as you play your melody
my heart beat
inaudible
beings to slow
and so do you
as you reach the end of your tune
the end of me
defeated once again
and you've already moved on to the next
