The year of the radio: Rising numbers

It's time to hear the story
in all its long lost glory,

a good catch
a horrible mismatch;

It is a tale that's quite depressing
a union without a blessing

but you shouldn't have to worry
the memories are quite blurry;

Just a soul that sought the truth
another looking for itself to soothe.

It's the lies you tell yourself to sleep
that lead you to a love that's cheap,

much like the one in this old story
that is also almost gory.
