On
the Road to Your Heart
The endless road
leads you far away
Both hands on the
steering wheel
Rolling down the
windows for fresh air
Nothing on your mind
but a lot in your heart
Underneath the
wheels, the rough pavement
Your favorite song
blaring on the radio
The bass seeps into
your soul through the radio
The feelings within
you do not go away
Your thoughts as
blank as the pavement
A left hand turn
approaches, turn the wheel
The rush of a new
road sparks a beat in your heart
All around you
excitement fills the air
Turn on the heat as a
chill breathes in the air
The song depresses
you on the radio
You think of all the
things that broke your heart
All the reasons you
are running away
Your hands loosen the
grip on the wheel
You speed up along
the desolate pavement
Loose gravel brings
you to reality on the pavement
Oxygen enters your
lungs as you breathe in the air
You reassert your
hands at 10 and 2 on the wheel
The time reads
endless on the radio
You are miles, turns,
road signs, away
However home lingers
within your heart
What led you on this
journey was your heart
Indecisive as you
took to the pavement
You wanted to leave
to find a way
You needed to
experience a new air
Just you and the music
on the radio
Turning emotions like
turning the wheel
Straighten out the
worn out wheel
Found a destination,
followed your heart
Turn down the dial on
the radio
Car stopped dead on
the pavement
Step out into the
crisp breeze and autumn air
You did it, you
finally got away
But then on comes the
radio, you reverse the wheel
There was no longer a
need to get away, your home is the destination of your heart
Back tracking down
the now familiar pavement, back to your hometown’s proverbial air
