tone deaf

tone deaf

 

 

harmony insinuates contentment

and yet, voices blend just as well in resentment

when the chorus condemns love's lean investment

Sometimes, we just hear and forget to listen.
Sometimes, we just say and forget to talk
Sometimes, we just look and do not see
Sometimes, we just exist and do not live

[jacob erin-cilberto]

much like in "sounds of silence" "people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never share"

i really appreciate your response, Ananya...

It is very disheartening when love turns bitter over time
A little sweetness can balance it out
Hopefully they begin to see: The "lean investment" is worth so much more
and just be grateful for what love can offer...:)

if we don't become too cynical, i think we can be grateful the love we have experienced...

When two lovers don't speak the same language the barriers can seem insurmountable.
But if we can find the right words or lyrics, perhaps a beautiful melody would become possible..
...I love this one for its simple complexity. Thank you for sharing!

Ah, don't always believe the words you hear. If the investment in any relationship...not just a loving one...is not genuine and two sided, the harmony will soon sour. So much said in three short lines. Lydi**

Not so! I knew a Kenneth Harmony and on our first day of school he cried. Sister Francis asked that I take care of him. What's a seven year old to do?

He was the butcher's son but we never got free beef.

Nice write!
