hello my old heart

You’re a bad habit

i’m not sure i’ll break

like smoking

drinking or

staying up late.

It only took once

till I was addicted

to the pinch in my lungs

the pain you inflicted.

and i don’t know how

to get off of this track

the cart you control

is going too fast

i forgot where we started

and where we had ended

“where have we been?

i’m feeling light headed”

i’ve lost my way

all i see is the drop

and i know where going

yet i’m not able to stop

i feel like i’ll never

get off of this train

anticipation of stopping

drives me insane

“i asked you to stop”

“will you please listen?”

you ignore my pleas

as tears blur my vision.

the cart speeds up

as we hit a bend

that’s when i realized

you don’t want this to end

i know you won’t stop

and we’ll go out together

in a fiery mess

two birds of a feather.
