a harmonious melody
can fade into discord

just like that;
unrivaled in its brevity.

all it takes
is one
mistake;

a delicate
string
pressed down
too tight

a stubborn
note
held for too long

a loose grip
sending chords

adrift;

one
sudden
shift,

and just like that,

i steer clear of
those wretched notes,

for our song
is death
to my ears.

Thank you for reading! Another prompt challenge, music is so captivating! Such an interesting subject to explore. It’s amazing how much it can influence our moods and makes us go back to certain memories.
