Tune my heart

 

Tune my heart.

Like an old violin, 

Like a worn down piano, 

I have been left out in all manners of weather,

I have been left alone for far too long. 

So like a concert master 

with a steady hand, 

tune me up. 

Listen and learn 

the cracked keys, 

the broken strings. 

Memorize the forgotten intervals 

That even I did not know.

And then, when we’re ready,

When this creaky heart is tuned,

teach me a new song.
