Musical Note

A harpist sent a note
That felt rather sharp.
It left me feeling flat
As a worn-out tune.

Out of rhythm and sync;
Too lento to make the play,
I lacked the harmony
To counterpoint her melody.

Cadenza like, my heart once surged;
Now it drums out a dirge.
The key to her heart
Lay with a noted composer.

This heartless rat made her a coda;
Turning her into a decomposer.
