Broken Road by Ali Marr

Memories are written on these streets,

They all scream of you and me.

They used to speak of

Loves hot flame,

Now all they read

Is lies and pain.

You still pretend that

You need my love

And use the same lines

That I’m getting sick of.

We know why we

Took this road

And how we made

That flame explode.

But your back is turned

Your car is gone,

Thought you were right

But you were wrong.

The street lights, bright,

Make it hard to see.

The memories, hot,

Are choking me.

Trying to drive

Till the memories erode

But it seems we’ve

Traveled every road.

You drove away

Because you always leave.

But what you left

Makes it hard to breathe.

Your marks been left

On the road and my heart.

The scars you left

Are a work of art.

I’ve run out of options,

I stay or I go

There’s nothing left to say

That you don’t know.

Put my foot to the gas

And go right ahead.

Greens always going to

Shine brighter than red.
