Ursa Major.........with twist of Poison

Shifting Gears


He said: driving
No destination, just an open road
empty, all alone, but still more crowded than I'm hopin for
enough gas to leave the past behind
and a fresh a pair of glasses to block the sunshine




cruising
my mood requires soothing music
just enough emotion to remind me that I'm human
my soul is tinted, but still light enough to see through it
top down, so are my windows
just enough so I can feel the wind blow

speeding
accelerating just cause I'm impatient
switching lanes like I'm in your favorite racing game
tires roll, smooth over paved roads
but I ain't hands free, I'm texting from my new phone

live and learn how to handle curves
can't help but wonder if I could handle yours
I notice the only thing my car is missing is a passenger
are you the exit I been waiting for?

I'm tryin to reach you from the fast lane
but by the time I get there, might be too late.
Its hard to slow down on this highway
so I'm trying to pump brakes

too fast, but I can't brake.
I'm gonna crashland, but I can't brake
no belt to keep me safe
I.
can't.
Stop.
I.
Can't.
Brake







Her response:



Shifting Priorities


I am walking away from society
Tried of everyone lying to me
but then something caught my eye
A boy who was passing by
A sweet smile on his lips
I just lost my grip

*breath*

My feet are moving towards where he stands
I can't control it like the sweating in my hands
I can smell him, like a hunter smells its prey
But I feel more like the victim that anything , yet I walk towards him anyway
I am scared

I am transfixed in the glory of his light
Like a deer stuck in headlights
I am breathing in his air
and I can't let myself care
I am terrified

I am dizzy,is he what I am searching for?
The king to my castle
Is he the one who can stop my downward spiral?
Has he come to save me?
I feel hope

I am staring at him watching him speak to me
The way he lips move have me getting dizzy
I am paralyzed by the hope he let sink in
I can't let this boy change what has begin
I am crazy

I need him to stop.
I stop looking at me like that.
Stop.
Please.
Stop.
I.
Can't.
Fall.
