Favorite Crime

I tried to talk my way to you 
But you push me aside 
Like I was an unpaid speeding ticket you shoved away
You race down highways  
You dash through towns
No GPS was needed
As you followed the map that was your mind
You drove with your head instead of your heart
I wish I could bail you out of the prison you call “your life”
But you’re too addicted to the gas you forget to break
90 miles an hour 
Until it’s too late 
I can’t keep filling your tank as it’s draining mine
Out of every law you ever broke 
I hope I was your favorite crime

Well written. I like the way you compare a relationship to driving. Spot on
