#24 Traffic lights
(first of all, sorry for my delay, I’m a doctor and I’ve been working in covid emergencies and that pushed me away from writing, wrongly I know…:/ But here I am again! :) )
You’re ticking me in all the right boxes
every day, every hour, every minute
Should I run from you? to you?
My fear of breaking drowns my courage
Such a new feeling to deal with
Arousing my forgotten demons
and igniting bad behaviours
I thought I had learned to kill
You mess me up really bad
with that enchanted chasing
Are you serious about what you want?
Or are you just playing with odds?
Because if you are
Careful, we can both be burned
and never return to what we were again
we will stain each other permanently
with a aureolin dot on our chest
like a path of light revealed
I’m passing every red light to keep you
ripping my safety codes and dreaming
Will it be worth it?
Will you come with me?
