what we think,
it's our choice
where do your thoughts reside?
explain to me
what you ponder.

trapped,
in my own mind.
forced,
to wonder
what if?
maybe if i hadn't let you go.

the needle on the record player,
it's stuck.
your sweet song
the melody of you
is on repeat.
i cannot get you out

there is an exit door
of my mind
an escape from my brain
but
it's blocked.
blocked by my heart

you are the bridge
that i can't get over.
the path
that i have to take
just to see
what my chances are
