Every time I think about us 

you burrow into my skull 

needle to vinyl 

scraping up the old familiar songs 

that played on repeat 

over the sounds of our broken hearts 

shattering like glass 

scattered all over the floor 

as we slowly fell out of love 


We danced 

to a chaotic musical 

of static and discord 

melodies warped by the weight 

of everything we left unsaid 

your sweet voice 

still lodged in the grooves of my mind 

skips and stutters 

a distorted vocal backing track 

refusing to fade 

as the rest of the instruments 

go painfully quiet 


You broke my heart 

and I hated you for it 

recollections of your soft singing 

echoed like dying screams 

played through worn-out speakers 

on constant repeat 

you were the sharp needle 

jagged and rusted 

dragging across the record 

of a past life 

reminding me of buried feelings 

I tried so hard to forget 


I can only try to be thankful 

for the bittersweet memories 

the way I remember it used to be 

the comforting noise 

the romantic rhythm 

the chaos I once called love 

but it's time to lift the arm 

let the record still 

one last serenade 

one final note 

before I leave the dust to settle 

let the music fade out 

to silence
