Out of Tune

We were a beautiful piano melody
That you always played for me.
It became my favorite song
To play on repeat,
My lullaby,
Our theme,
But slowly the song changed.
The piano was slowly becoming untuned,
So slowly that we didn't notice,
Since it sounded the same to us
As it did the day before,
Because we failed to tune the piano,
That was the instrument
For the beautiful melody
Playing our theme.
But then we strayed from the melody,
Decided we didn't need to hear it,
So when we went back to that piano,
We realized how out of tune
It had really become.
