Vinyl Hearts

A poem of love and the influence of music

By John WallacePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

My heart is a record

And you

You are the turntable

Some time you should play me

I might be scratched but I think you should be able

The sound quality is alright

But that’s because we’re both a little bit unstable

Yet you make me feel so bright

My feelings projected from the grooves of my soul

Especially at night

The moon doesn’t even have to be whole

If you spin me just right

I'll sing you the love songs of old

I may skip a beat

Or even play on repeat

Just know that when my record is sold

It comes off of the 99 cent rack

I’m just a bit messed up

I need my turntable back

One that wont scratch me

Or leave me in a box under the stairs

So spin me just right

And show me that you care
