It was the same old pavement,
And the same old July
We were the same old birds,
Searching the same old sky
My heart was the same old traitor,
Felt the same old fire
I heard the same old tune
Of the same old lyre
He was the same old guy,
Had the same old frown
But those were the same old folks,
Of the same old town
Stuck in the same old moment,
By the same old tie,
We felt the same old love
Like the same old lie!

I find this poem deeply absorbing! This unleashes some over and done truths. Aren't we drumming the same old trumpet in a different form? Is not our love story a variant of the same forgotten tragic and romantic lore? So engaging, I really feel thrilled.

Next reader is me, and what I read makes me smile, though the lightness of tone here hides a feeling of as if living in a loop... very effective! Best wishes - Bar

The use of repetition --"same old" -- is effective.
