Rollercoaster Poem by patrick o'shaughnessy

i had the pleasure once
to take your love for a spin
welcomed by flashy lights
the promise drew me in

the promise of safety
so i dont worry about fear
so i stepped in closely
until you were near

then the light went green
and you sped up to fast
you sped up to tomorrow
and put today in the past

cause the promise didnt last
it was just good for one day
it wasnt forever
it wasnt here to stay

but i escaped your rollercoaster
i escaped all your lies
but i cant escape the memories
that will haunt me till i die
