Poetic Tides Through Time

Wrong Way

Over and over I fell
Hard for you
Loving you when all
In me revolted in warning
I did not listen
When did we get on this plane
Of hate stronger than love?
I want to disembark.

I want to
Love again,
Be loved
Feel loved
Be happy.

The plane is on the runway
And I am force pressed
Into my seat by
Newton's Second Law,
acceleration's net force.

The amount of force you exerted
That night, the emotional
Weight of you, triggered
My acceleration away from
You.

Your gravitational pull is endless
Endless acceleration
Endless anger and despair
Endless turmoil of disenchantment.

Open the exit door
Turn the page
Decelerate...
A clean break

I'm leaping...
free.
