A Story Told

Pages worn the story's told Ink fading but the words hold Each chapter etched in memory But the plot's unchanged can't you see? We turned the pages line by line But the ending it won't realign Though we read it twice the pain remains In our hearts it forever stains Reading the same book twice Won't rewrite the tale of our demise Though we hoped for change we found none In the pages where our love begun Between the lines a hidden truth Of promises broken dreams aloof We read aloud but couldn't mend The broken bond that won't transcend In every chapter we played our part But the script was flawed from the start We tried to rewrite to make amends But the story's end it never bends Reading the same book twice Won't rewrite the tale of our demise Though we hoped for change we found none In the pages where our love begun So let's close the book and let it lie For the ending won't change though we try In the silence we'll find our peace And let go of the story that won't release
