Notes About The Poem

When a memory is looped ....It plays forever!

Three Quarter Sad

Somewhere in the silence
Of what might have been
A memory walks to the Jukebox
'Drops a quarter in......

That old song was just waiting
For her sweet embrace....
But the edge of forever
Cuts deep down my face

Where hurt meets the dance floor
That waltz,  we loved... flows
As hell has an encore
And heaven is closed

Reliving the dying
Of all we once had
I'll be dancing forever
To three quarter sad

Never forever
And three quarter sad.......

Somewhere in the silence
Of what might have been
A memory walks to the jukebox
'Drops a quarter in.........
