I didn’t want,
but the more that it gave,
I caved.
I caught myself
and grew up fast,
but in my life
I left things undone.
Places I had driven past,
but never did the thing.
Unfinished business, I guess.
I’d give anything
not to have this life of regret.
I ask God,
if there’s time enough
to tie up my loose ends.
His only answer
is to how me the road,
it goes on,
until it ends.
It’s a one way ride
and I’m
on until I get off.
There’s no going back.
There’s a strong pull
to put it down
on the curves,
and in the dark,
so you gotta slow down,
sometimes.
Find a place to park,
and escape the madness.
Get some rest,
and let it pass you by.
The only way is forward,
leaving all that other shit behind.
