Since when was every song
on the radio about broken hearts.
Have I been singing to the beat
of our hearts entwined for too long
to notice the world burning at our feet.

I keep finding scraps of you
in those melancholic melodies,
and as love songs turn to haunting screams,
I sink deeper into despair,
clutching the once comforting words
of a wedding song
I guess I’ll never be able to play now.
