Disco Lights... Poem by Nestor David Armas

The record is
Skipping
Ripping
Tearing
Wearing out
My tattered heart
Playing the tune
I've hollowed out
Of my ears
Bleeding deaf
From the pain
I've sought
To relieve
A silent buzz
Has settled in
Screams in
The echoes
They repeat
My sorrow
Over and over
This track
On a loop
That will never
Break my fall
For her
Love is the artist
And life is the DJ
Remix my fears
Into an empty
Dance floor
Sober I am
Alone
And I cannot
Turn off
The Disco lights...
