Fatal Attraction

That song comes on in the car while I'm driving to you

You love is my Drug.

I smile and turn up the radio

I can't help but think about you

And your love is like a drug.

What you got boy is hard to find

I think about it all the time

Your face appears in my mind

My heart skips a beat

My brain buzzes as I drive closer and closer to you

I'm almost there... I'm climbing higher and higher

I'm all strung out, my heart is fried.

I just can't get you off my mind.

I begin singing along.

A large grin is plastered onto my face.

45, 48, 52, 56, 62 miles per hour

I wish I could say that's how fast my heart seemed to beat.

I wish I could have told you I was paying attention.

I wish I could have told you that I didn't see the light turn from green to red.

I wish I could have told you that I tried to stop

If I told you that now, you wouldn't listen.

Not because you didn't want to, but because you can't.

You still sit on that lonely bench in the church

Your face covered with your hands.

I can hear you sobbing, and my heart is breaking.

I didn't know ghosts had feelings.

I watch as you stand up and look into the coffin.

Tears stream down your face.

I want to scream, shout, tell you that I love you and that I won't leave you

But how could I?I watch from the dark corner as you run your fingers across my cold cheek

And you look into my lifeless eyes

I can feel it, even though I'm several feet away.

You turn and walk towards the door,

Turning around and muttering one last,

"I'll always love you."

And then you leave.
