Broken Record MAG
November 4, 2012
My heart isn't a stereo anymore. It's a broken record;
Playing over and over every song that meant something to this memory I used to call “us.”
With every replay,
the needle scratches my fresh wound,
making it even larger than before. Each sound wave penetrates deeper and deeper into me, puncturing my heart.
Soon, if it keeps going on long enough,
all that will be left is white noise reverberating off the walls of my empty heart,
and I'll fade into the background just like every other heartbroken nobody.

This is a fantastic poem/song. I like how the song you listened to helped you write a magnificant piece. You live very close to me? Do I perhaps know you? If so, add me on Facebook: Austin Kelley. I'd enjoy sharing ideas about songs and poems with you.
