Skipping
Skipping record on repeat
so I'm not gonna speak
not anymore
not today
I'll just sit
maybe pray
to a god
I made up
inside my head
dwindling interest I can tell
you're no longer under my spell
not anymore
not today
I fucked up
in lots of ways
I don't know
how to fix
any of it
chemical imbalance I could blame
but the endings still the same
you're not here
not anymore
not today
I'll just drink
away the pain
I miss you
but I'm not sure
you reciprocate
you're not here
you're not here
you're not here
skipping record on repeat
so I'm not gonna speak.
so I'm not gonna speak
not anymore
not today
I'll just sit
maybe pray
to a god
I made up

dwindling interest I can tell
you're no longer under my spell
not anymore
not today
I fucked up
in lots of ways
I don't know
how to fix
any of it
chemical imbalance I could blame
but the endings still the same
you're not here
not anymore
not today
I'll just drink
away the pain
I miss you
but I'm not sure
you reciprocate
you're not here
you're not here
you're not here
skipping record on repeat
so I'm not gonna speak.

I really like the connection you made to a skipping record on repeat to the rest of the content in this poem. I also dig the rhyming, as i love doing it myself. You built a bridge with your words. great work!
