Dead End

A retrospective look at a bad relationship...

Backing away
from your acid heart,
licking my wounds,
I see them.
Signs, that were
obscured by
emotional rain.

SHARP CURVE
Warning me of your
approaching change
of heart.

YIELD
My beacon to proceed
with caution. Somewhere
near your proclamation
of love.

SLIPPERY WHEN WET
Passed this one where
I slid and fell
in love with you.

Stepping out,
I turn,
one final glance
at the map to your heart.
At the entrance, on each side,
the path is littered with
warning
after
warning...

STOP
TWO WAY TRAFFIC
SOFT SHOULDER
DO NOT ENTER

And in bright, neon yellow
the most believable one of all

DEAD END!
