Stop Sign

I stare into the world I feel the slight breeze tickle my check I close my eyes and here the silence overtake me I want to stay in this forever I want this moment to last A moment of clarity A moment of no pain Or hurt or sorrow Just me and the air and the silence Once I open my eyes this will end I feel if I let it end It will never return I want to stay like this forever I pray and dream to stay like this forever And then at that moment I open my eyes I feel the tear running down my face I didn’t even realize I was sad My eyes are blurred from the tears I blink to see the world I must face the world And then I see him I see everything I don’t want I see everything that terrifies me I see the hope in his eyes I wish I had his hope I wish I shared his love “ You coming” he says Then reality hits and I walk toward him He says I love you I say I love you back I lie I get in the car and see the road in front of me I want to close my eyes again But there’s no escape I see the road of my life I wish I could turn away But we move towards the road Towards our life I cry in my head But the road is still driven And there’s no stop sign
