Turning

Screaming at the top of my lungs
Lyrics to a song I love
Every word reminds me of you
And that 20 ticket ring faded blue
Bubblegum pink outlines
These words on this page
Every word keeps reminding me
Of black & white ink fading
And I joke
Say, “baby,”
“I love you more than Oreos.”
But you know how it goes
With every turn in every road
And I know
Think too much
And when the rain comes down cold
What’s up next? I don’t know
With every turn in every road
See the Knicks beanie
Laying on my hotel bed
Every thought brings me to you
With orange, black, & blues
See the bright red outside of me
And I go to turn to you
Every thought keeps bringing me
Back to dark memories
And I joke
Say, “baby,”
“I love you more than Oreos.”
But you know how it goes
With every turn in every road
And I know
Think too much
And when the rain comes down cold
What’s up next? I don’t know
With every turn in every road
And do you remember?
Or was it just me?
Will you always remember?
You say you’ll never leave.
And I know
Think too much
And when the rain comes down cold
I wonder if you know
With every turn in every road
