Play Back

My trembling fingers reluctantly
Hit the 'replay' button for
What seemed like the umpteen time

(Just to hear your voice again...)

Tears uncontrollably fall over
My swollen eyelids
Ruining my blatant emotions

(Why did I press that button?)

Your shabby apology recorded on that tape
You trip over your words
Desperate for my forgiveness

(Your every word tears me apart...)

Shouting in frustration

I finally took the tape

& crushed it with my foot
With the anger I felt for your betrayal

(I'm not going to play back
Our memories ever again)

    Hell I know that one... It's like when I log onto Bebo and see my exes 'I love you so much baby' xxxx and lots of hearts, I feel sick and angry, because I know he was being fake. It just makes me want to cry and want to hurt him at the same time.

    all the best

    Let it not be termed as 'shabby' but go as 'unkind'
    A finely woven verse with living objects moving around in memory scales
    really a nice tribute to forlorn and ship wrecked
    i wish you all the best in my contest
