Alter Course

Jonathan A. Lacey

Free verse
What do you really do?
When your heart's in two,
Divided by your anxiety decisions,
Trying to avoid our crazy collisions,
But I'm blinded by my very own fear,
Wishing you would choose to be here,
So, I wouldn't be drowning in doubt,
Can you please redirect your route?
CUZ, I have learned a lot from the past,
And with a chance, love will Everlast.
