He said she said
"that's what you said!"

This is flying
over my head

This is quoting
statements undead

This is writing
with bone-dry lead

He knew she knew
"nothing is new"

Another sip
of aging brew

Another trip
with same old view

Another hip
broken in two

He thought she thought
"all is for naught"

One more season
"forever" sought

One more reason
"forever" taught

One more treason
"forever" fought

Forever in
quotation marks

Broken records
setting off sparks

Missing context
of story arcs

I'll start with saying that the use of rhyme is well used. It creates an easy to follow flow through the poem itself. I like some of the words you used like "Quoting statements undead". Something original.

I felt a little lost with this poem but did understand the use of argument. It seemed a little vague, and I wanted to know what could have sprouted such an argument. The impact is a little short coming for me personally.

Some improvements? Maybe capitalizing the second line, as it is a speech quote in the context you placed it in. "That's what you said!". Also for the 8th line "All is for naught." Other than possible additions of other punctuation to complete the kind of flow you want for your piece.
