Smashed cassettes on sticky floors
Careless heels on last year’s tunes
Leaking morsels of a life
Broken hearts and closing doors

Postcards from forgotten days
Bits of paper, numbers lost
Memories to drink and dream
Secret touches, hazy ways

Empty bottles, candles burnt
Yellowed pages, coloured pens
Tarnished rings on dusty desks
Silent phones and lessons learnt
