Signs

Road map torn
                        my direction gone
                        Needing more
                        but it's been too long
                        Paths won't cross
                        this way again
                        knowing you won't let me in

                        Road block here
                        barrier there
                        Everywhere I turn
                        you never stop and stare
                        Jumping fences
                        swimming against the current
                        My mind deserts me
                        because my heart thinks you are worth it

                        So...

                        Post your signs
                        beneath my heart
                        Confuse my mind
                        tear my world apart
                        I'm something more
                        than what you need
                        so post your signs...
                        I'll take heed

                        Drive into me
                        with what I'd never say to you
                        Thrill me
                        with the things you wouldn't do
                        Feel me
                        in some nightmare at night
                        Remember
                        that you gave up this fight

                        Too many ways
                        you could have let me know
                        But when it all came down to this
                        you just wouldn't show
                        The simple answers
                        that I needed to hear
                        The car lost control
                        but you weren't willing to steer

                        Please...

                        Post your signs
                        beneath my heart
                        confuse my mind
                        tear my world apart
                        I'm something more
                        than what you need
                        so post your signs...
                        I'll take heed

                        Crashing head first
                        flesh and concrete meeting
                        Hitting the pavement is better
                        than a love that is fleeting
                        A regurgitated illusion
                        of one eternal bliss
                        That's all that I am to you
                        and nothing too precious to miss

                        Reariew mirror warned
                        that you never would
                        Headlights shining in my eyes
                        I should have left you right where you stood
                        Screeching onto a bridge
                        you had crossed before me
                        Horrifying twists and turns
                        of what I could not see
                        Into the cold river below
                        the heaviness brought me down
                        Unable to escape
                        and you were nowhere to be found

                        Then...

                        Waiting for the moment
                        when all was dead and gone
                        Quietly you stole a glance
                        at the fading ripple
                        in the water
                        left by one
                        small
                        sinking
                        stone...

                        Shhh...

                        Slowly walk past the crash site
                        you won't recognize me this time
                        Name and face will trigger no longing...
                        Memories disappear...
                        Never forgetting what you can't remember...
                        You survive the tragedy...
                        Walking away forever...

                        leaving it all behind
