Our Song

its tuneful melody
  once touched our souls
after the break-up
  like a gong, it tolls

the notes that thrilled
  now just tremble
like a frozen smile
  our song dissembles

after a break up I imagine this is true "after the break-up like a gong, it tolls"

Sweet songs can turn sonorous depending upon the mental state of the listener or the context in which it is sung... ! A tune can go out of tune in no time. Much food for thought Gershon !

I like the way you put it, Valsa: 'out of tune!' Time for a tune-up! :)

Sometimes, we get the sad and the bad -- before the glad! :) gw
