Broken Records

Skips and scratches
Litter the limbs
Similar to a record I once owned
But lent to a friend

It was never returned
Thus I miss it dearly
That imperfect album with all my admiration
Unlike the songs, present so clearly

It was plastered in scrapes
Like unfiled nails on chalk board
The double edged blade
The needle a sword

It mocked the record as it spun
With each cycle another skip
And laughed as gargled speech
Poured from the vinyl's lips

Even the depressed turntable let out a chuckle
At the sight of the damaged disk
But it was not even broken
I do beg, why treat it like this

A/N: weird phrasing. Eh. Anyway, have a good day or night or year and stuff.
