Where The Music Fades

It hurts to hear the same song on this vinyl

To think of this as the story final

It hurts to be bound to the same place, the same you

A lifetime worth living is never lived for survival

And in my mind

I don’t feel the need to find

Another lingering echo

To fill the empty space

The walls start to go bare

Some memories stay

While others slowly efface

Somewhere along the way

The music fades away

The light turns to grey

The rhythm begins to sway.

And so sure, this is love,

But it’s foolish to call it fated

This drained photograph

With the colors faded-

Is but proof that love gets dated.
