180 Degrees

Seeing you drive

Away in that car that your parents had bought for you

When you had just turned 16

Hoping that you

Would slam the brakes and turn that car around for me

180 degrees

How can I live knowing that

Your love was on the tip of my tongue

How can I justify all that I've done

Laying in bed

With pillows and blankets stacked over my head

In hopes that they'll drown out my screams

Restless at night

Hoping that soon enough I'll fall sleep just so

I can see you in my dreams
