Cadence

The song sounded –

Familiar;

As you strummed 

I started singing along,

Motioning 

The way you played it

I’ve heard this before

And I know the end

It’s the kind of song –

That’s like a drug

I need to stop –

Now.

But then you

Took a half step up,

And another,

And another

The dissonance was –

Fading.

Your fingers slid up

And down

The rests were

More apparent

I tried to turn

The internal amplifier

Down

So that none would hear

It was beating

Too fast

A dopamine rush

Because it had become

A lovely song

One I could not

Bear to share

It was ours
