Closure

The despaired circle continued with a twist of the key

A tap on the gas and I could no longer see

As swift numbness sunk into my mind

My heart overwhelmed as if there was something to find

My hands loosely held the steering wheel straight

As if something else was in control, such as my fate

My eyes glazed over, dangerous when on the road

My logic fell short from my heavy load

Turns I was taking without a second look

Lead me to the still street that suddenly shook

 

The once resolved emotions unraveled with a peek

A hesitant skim on the break finalized my want to seek

As tears began to swell in and out of my eyes

My lips faintly mouthed there will be no more cries

My head steadily tilted toward the open window pane

The figure of you left me no longer sane

My throat grew dry, fetching swallowed emotions

Thoughts raced through my mind without a solid notion

Feelings were drowning me, indifferent about my once win

However, I listened and followed Him without committing one sin

 

 

The followed conclusion included a few speed bumps on the street

A jolt of sense, though, kept me in my seat

As my mind tingled with the thought of a possible, accurate reason

My eyes quickly told me it’s because of the season

My flesh needed something to keep me warm through the cold

As if my hands were longing for that lost, tight hold

My eyes lit up, reflective over the scene

My soul soared high courageous and keen

Turns I was taking without a second look

Lead me to the still street that suddenly shook
