Repeat
It's the same old song
still playing loud and proud
bitter enough to pucker ears
like lips fouled with the taste
of rancid words
there is no moving forward
no unsure smiles
or joyous peeks
into the valleys and peaks
of the futures landscapes
there is just what was
and what I wish it would be now
and the same old song
winding its way towards
the end
still playing loud and proud
bitter enough to pucker ears
like lips fouled with the taste
of rancid words
there is no moving forward
no unsure smiles
or joyous peeks
into the valleys and peaks
of the futures landscapes
there is just what was
and what I wish it would be now
and the same old song
winding its way towards
the end

For once it didn't take any thinking about, no fretting over word choices. I don't know if it that's a good thing, but at least it was easier

Its effective at conveying the approaching end and lost aspirations. It leaves me feeling that its time to move on with memories, but no overly significant regret.

Familiarity breeds contempt, perhaps? I find a lot packed into this short piece. Very nicely done.
