Pointless Really
so
in a moment of fear
in the face of love
you can slam on the brakes
you can turn off the lights
remain still, no crunch of gravel
so
when you see the flashlight
far off, too close
you can clench your fist
you can close your eyes
don’t breathe, no sound
so
as you protect yourself
from the face of love
you can lie by saying nothing
you can turn to run
immobile
but it’s all pointless
really
