RED LIGHT

I hope you enjoy this poem. It is something I  wrote in the beginning of the season.

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
