old tracks...

he said
he shouldn't, wouldn't...
could not go on...
can't continue to play the beat to this brand new song
starting over
scratch that
press pause...
or just stop
he hadn't recognized such time had passed,
as he heard the beat drop...
harmony he'd been seeking
no new songs, no new lyrics
trying the balance the bass
but not until the former melody was finished
he had to change the cd
flip those instrumental keys
or stop this intro that started playing
as the songs overlapped...
he rather fade in the black
he pressed rewind,
let the song restart, that playback
realized he couldn't get enough of that familiar song
old tracks...
