I won't listen to love songs
lest I become what I hear
could you forsake these
modern melodies
or will I forever follow
memories
can we forget our simple
tragedies
together making light of fear
You won't listen to love songs
at least if someone's around
could you pretend no one exists
but me
or will I continue writing poetry
can we believe we have a chance to be
together making silence sound
We won't listen to love songs
in case we've fallen apart
could you ignore the warnings
whispering
or will I acquiesce to withering
can we connect in sweet remembering
trusting it's a place to start
