Red Light, Green Light
By Mekhala Mira
Red light, green light,
All a blur in my mind.
For all I see,
Is what I can’t let go of.
A future with the love I want,
And a past with the one who makes that hard.
Forget about him,
My internal monologue.
Go, it’s green,
Return to my reverie,
Of someone I can ask to stay,
Who I don’t fear will run away.
Someone who will hold me close,
I’ve made my bar so very low,
So anyone can give me hope,
That I might find what I’m searching for.
But on this road,
I live in dreams,
Of what has been,
And what could be.
Keep on driving,
Never stopping,
To face the unknowns of reality.
