Blackbird

Life skipped vinyl

A metal monologue of pain

A chorus played in reverse

A spiked needle of regret

There

In silence

against noise

I knew

what we were

There

In silence

against norm

I knew

what we lost

My sky bled black label

as the needle tore a hole

ripping the melody in half

of our song

blood filled my eyes

but you were gone

life is regret played backwards

at least life for now
