A Lovely Broken Record

Dedicated to my ex DreVaans

“A Lovely Broken Record”

By Ashira Cartel

Dedicated to my beloved DreVaans

 

Lyrics of love songs replay in my head

Like a broken record

Like a broken record

 

Movies of memories repeat in my mind

Like a skipping tape

Like a skipping tape

 

All I can picture is your face

Like re-drawn pictures

Like re-drawn pictures

 

All I can hear is the sound of your voice

Like a repeating note

Like a repeating note

 

Going to sleep is so difficult because you’re in every dream

Like counting sheep

Like counting sheep

 

And when I’m awake I have a heartache of longing for you

Throbbing heartbeat after

Throbbing heartbeat after…

 

I cherish every memory like new photographs

Rolls of tape that last

Rolls of tape that last

 

Please, can we just enjoy ourselves?

Just lie here

Just lie here

 

Time can stop and silence can be our clock

Tick tock…

Tick tock…

 

Every breath I take is a moment of life for you

Inhale…exhale…

Inhale…exhale…

 

You’re the most important thing, the world to me

Revolving

Revolving

 

You’re the most important thing, my dearest

I love you

I love you
