The unlawful seduction
Just an unwanted soul
A forgotten last word
Arguing with no issues
Trampled by the enemy
Giving up the future
Dry throat and shaky hands
This can’t be happening all over again
Trying so hard after a brutal loss
To forget and live
Maybe it’s a mistake
So what if I’m not beautiful?
Can’t we continue the adventure anyway?
Had the joy taken from me
I’m at a fork in the road
Quiet but screaming
Humming but singing
Darling you were my new start
Now here I sit awake in my nightmares
Everything felt so right but it went so wrong
Looking both ways but still getting hit
Laying upon the gravel and dirt
This is where I belong
We both didn’t want this to happen
But here I lay waiting for another to hit me
They are all speeding or drunk
Children at play
Players at play
I’m small and I’m innocent
All I’ve ever been was nice
But life screws me over
Every time I stray from the sidewalk
I’m just a deer in the headlights
Not sure where to run
The lights so bright and distracting I stay
Next thing you know everything’s black
I warned everyone don’t stop just run
I may not have died but it’s amazing what you can live through
One more time and I think I’m done
I started so strong but finished so weak
Always look both ways
Always run
