Marti Sutherland Poet Rhyme

Which One of Us Is Out of Tune

If love speaks the same language
why are our words misunderstood?
One of us lost a pleasant voice.
Was it by chance or by choice?

Our singing was always in sync,
just like the love we shared,
but lately we're out of harmony.
One of us is singing off key.

We're like a piano out of tune
hitting notes that makes us cringe.
We might as well both be mute.
A truth neither of us can refute.
