forever and (n)ever

a broken love song
shredded and abused
chords are all wrong
the wounds were repaired with elmer’s glue
melody slowly oozes
out from the injuries
over yellowing bruises
a reminder of all the miseries
lips are rubbed raw
from singing of what was
from singing of what you had saw
in your future together
which only lived a short forever
