Street Lights, Street Signs, by Isabel

I wish there were traffic lights on the roads of the mind.
then they’d be a little more kind.

I wish there were red lights so they could stop and know,
when things move too fast,
when it’s time to go slow.

Yellow lights, to say “Move with care,” – but for them to stop would be rare.
Green lights to show that I’m willing.

A ‘no outlet’ sign and hold it up above to tell you there’s no way out of my love.
I wish I could hold up a ‘no U turn’ to tell you not to turn around,
once your on the road, there is no turning back.
Unless those feelings, you want to give back..

Tears would slowly roll down this street,
The street becomes a stream and my face would no longer beam.
