Red Light


Woke up
With realization
It broke my heart
I sent the text
Pouring out my soul
To my friend

Rushing to work
The sky is still dark
Guilty conscious feeling
As I run a red light
I look behind me
Something I didn't see before

Haven’t heard from her
We needed to talk
To clear things up
If it means it is over or not
Willing to give it up
Not break another one

I saw lights
Heard the siren
I was being followed
Pulled to the side
It was all I could say

She responds back
Being responsible
Admitted it was her fault
Wanted to keep everything
Even make it more special
Apologizing for not being aware
Of it all

All I felt was guilt
As I looked into the eyes
Of the intimidating man
I confessed
Don’t want to make a habit

Thankful
Dominated the pain
Taking advantage of the incident
A rich experience
Making two closer
To one another

It was conquered
Not driving back
But just going straight
Forward 


I really enjoyed writing the poem Red Light because it is something personal. I've never ran a red light but I did feel lonely as my friend never made time for me and always spent it with her boyfriend.  I was wanting to define our friendship; are we friends or not? We promised each other we would keep each other accountable, so I took the step forward  to tell her how I felt and at the end I have no regrets because we are closer then ever before.
