A Mile Long and Never Ending

Look the other way,

Don't think just do it.

Make sure to close your eyes,

Before it takes you in.

Every pain you've ever had,

All the words that broke you down.

Memories that span a lifetime,

Seem so small right now.

Close your eyes and turn your head,

Remember a song you hate.

Do it now while you have the chance.

Just turn your head away.

Don't look back like you've never,

Seen it happen a million times before,

Enough times to close your eyes,

And see it anyway.

 

She smiles.

I saw an ex a long time ago and figured if I captured it, put it in a jar, I would be able to keep it and live with letting go.
