Love Resolution

Remember all those lies you told

When you set me on your knee?

Found out the truth as I grew old

I guess that’s how it had to be.



It hurts me worse than it hurts you

A kiss won’t make it go away

This deals to awful to be true

It’s just the price I’ve had to pay.



The place became expectantly silent. The twins’ voices mingled together seamlessly in a way only family members seem able to do. Avery’s eyes sparkled. She’d forgotten what a joy it was to sing with her brother. They leaned in their foreheads almost touching as they sang the chorus.



When you’re finally broken

There’s no last minute reprieve

No harsh words remain spoken

All that’s left to do is grieve



Cell phones in the audience came out. Displays all around the club lit up with virtual candlelight apps as the bar patrons all swayed back and forth to the rhythm of the tune.



Sure tomorrow’s another day

Problem is they’re all the same

Every cloud is lined in grey

Picture’s torn inside the frame.



When you’re finally broken

There’s no last minute reprieve

No harsh words remain unspoken

All that’s left to do is grieve.



Oh yeah it’s worse than it appears

Time cannot heal so many wounds

No peace of mind, mine’s all in pieces

No more time to change the tune.



When you’re finally broken

There’s no last minute reprieve

No harsh words remain unspoken

All that’s left to do is grieve.



After the last notes on the guitar faded, for a couple of heartbeats there was complete silence. Even the bartenders stopped slinging drinks. Then their line buddy, Matt let out a long appreciative whistle which his pal Joseph echoed. The spell broken, the place erupted with thundering foot stomping applause.
