A broken record
Hayden mccain 2005 (Virginia)
The only
lesson
I have learned
is that
everything
was meant
to burn .
Leaving in
it’s ashes
the repeating
rueful record
that’s
always stuck
on one track.
Puttering
out those
once persistent
fervent feelings .
Which makes you
yearn for her
in your
arms again.
But love is just
like a record .
When it’s broken
you can never truly
get it back.
About this poem
Well love is like a record onece it’s broken it will never be the same again.
