Left Turn
LEFT TURN
Left turn, left turn 4 straight times,
I'm on an oval with no finish line.
Unanswered questions racing thru my mind, u drove away and took love's exit sign, and left me behind with left turn, left turn 4 more times.
No one goes thru life without making mistakes, You put your pride aside and face the trouble you make. When you hold someone's heart you hold life's highest stakes. Then you treat me like a pitstop, my emotions ain't fake.
Like the myth of Sisyphus and his uncompleatable task, love moved slowly up the mountain but fell real fast, now I'm caught in the Minataur's maze doomed to retrace the past, to escape the unescapable is all that i ask. Love once invincible, unbreakable, now shattered like glass.
Cuz these left turns are a bad design, let's take a right turn to the finish line. The only oval would be a diamond with brilliant shine. We'd ride away together, and leave the Left Turns behind.

Author's Note
The day I finally felt things were certain was the day she left without explanation
Watching NASCAR left turn after left turn frustrates me and I felt similarly frustrated when she left without a word. And this is the metaphor here

It can be hard to change course when one is so used to taking the same turns. The old adage is not wrong: " You don't know what you got till it is gone."
