I often use the idea of songs in my poems because I don't believe they can be broken or die, they're always evolving and changing!

Broken Lyrics

What do we do with a song lying broken
The melody faded

The words oh so jaded
It doesn’t mean what we thought it should
What we thought it always would be

What do we do with this empty creation
I weep for this unsung song
I dreamed of melodies
And you thought of practicalities
With that our song slipped away
And now I feel broken
My fears lying open

A music box that just won’t play
I twist in the pins and I will them to hum
Though no begging will coax them to turn
Yet I can paste it together
Weave a new melody
Patch up broken lines in a new way
You can carve a new box
To carry our tune
Won`t be as it was, but it`s ours all the same
And these new desires will burn out our failures
We can dance to our song all our days....
