The Middle of the Road
I am standing in the middle of the road, deciding which way to go, the traffic on my left is speeding down the street and the traffic on my right is disrupting my heartbeat.
I am standing in the middle of the street, waiting for the story to complete but you keep adding chapters upon

Little Baby Squirrel In the Middle of the Road-
It is the same little squirrel,
little baby squirrel,
running down the road

Each passing second, minute "LIFE"

In the Middle of the Road
I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Watching the spot where you disappeared
Watching the spot where you aren't anymore.
I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Listening to your voice echo in my head

I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Touching the spot on my cheek
