Short Like A Broken Record Poems

My mind feels like a broken record, 
I keep thinking about the same old things.
I feel so stuck in déjà vu,
Running through the same old scenes.
Day in, and day out, 
My mind is never empty. 
But sometimes I wish it was, 
So I could sit and think....

All of yesterdays wilt 
Reflections of the glass were very clear
As it has always been
Today, I wish it hadn't been that way
Yearning and longing was what it was
The only thing I have ever known
I am afraid 
The moment that I start to walk
I tell myself a lie
A fool that I am
Believed such a lie
Like a broken record
I do it again and again
As the darkness came
Today, I lie again...

A wall divides
me from that
peace of mind. 
A peace I hope
one day I'll find.
But unti then,
I stare at the wall
and wonder 
how its fair
to break down
when it was I
who did the hurting.

I stare at the wall
and I know
it was never fair. 
That's what he 
called it,
what he always said. 
Like a broken record
reminding me
it would never be equal
and the fool I was
thought it was a joke....

I should of seen this coming 
Our love was to good to be true 
You showed your true colors when I got my prison blues 
I never got a letter I never got a visit 
Your promise was broken from the moment that you said it 
I tried to call prepaid but the number had been changed 
So I sit in this cell and dwell on the words that you said 
Like a broken record in my head 

I got these Prison blues when I got my Prison blues 
You said you would ride tell you died but that was just a lie....

Yes Wilfredo I do hear it
as I listen with intent,
what has happened to the children
and enchanted time we spent?

Is the past all that we own now
is forever meant to be,
just repeating and repeating
those few years so young and free?

In that lane of dormant memories
where the music swirls around
like a broken record keeping
us forever near it's sound,

Somewhere someone plays tomorrow
on an upright in the hall,
notes that do not need to borrow
words from yesterday at all....
