Step To The Left

[shawty"B"]

I don't know what to do
I think I'm gonna leave here
She told me that we're through
I think I'm gonna leave here
The air is growing thin
I think I'm gonna leave here
I'm jumping from my skin
I think I'm gonna leave here

I’m tearing up inside, how can I stop my soul from dying?
I can’t stay here now she’s lied, so I walk along the train tracks crying
I'll walk to Brian’s house, something like sixteen miles away
Hopefully he was true to his word and for a few days I'll just stay
I remember as I walk that the left side of the tracks holds death in sight
So I quickly correct my steps in this direction to the right
The right side that Britney and I used to so often walk
Take long sun set strolls across the tracks just to talk
Just then life strikes me to a halt, hits me where it hurts
She’s not coming back; I hate to admit it, so Ill cut my life short
Its quarter to eleven in the morning, and I hear the train whistle growing near
That’s it, fuck it all, life is dead; I begin sprinting to the train with no fears

Here I go now
Staring down hells path
Here I go now
Wondering how long it lasts
Here I go now
These tracks lead my way
Here I go now
Staring at my death today

Sprinting to a train that’s been traveling speeds faster than me
The only time that I’ve ever seen this is inside of my dreams
Its getting louder, I swear its coming closer by the moment
In my head I know my heart would make me stop, but it was stolen
Continuously taking sprinting steps to what promises my grave
I manage out a grin as I go, because I realize I was once a love slave
My enslaved mind is now running from all of this, in chains
This over ground rail road has found how to mix love and hate in my veins
Blind rage runs me down the right side of these tracks tonight
Reality becomes so scary when a blind man can see into a train light…
I finally see the train, raging down the tracks toward the station
All set and ready for it, I step to the left, brace, take my place and....

His is heart is slowly slipping
Step to the left now
Now his blood is dripping
Step to the left now
One mans soul is flying
Step to the left now
One step and he’s dying
Step to the left now

The train bumped and screeched to a halt
I ran out and saw a dead body, who knew it was my fault
I covered my face as some part of this body hit the ground
We all waited for it to hit the rocks, but it made a different sound
It his what looked like a mans left arm, and possibly his hand
Seeing a ring on it I go to look, it looks like a promise band
As I stare at it closer I notice something that should’ve been clear
That ring is the one that I gave him; this is my love dead here
This is what happens to Gods miracle when his heart gets broken
Is this what is left behind to start my nightmare, a dead token?
At this realization I sit next to the arm, I didn’t think he really would
I’m ready to die I begin tearing, and rest my head in his dripping blood

I threw his life away
I think I’m gonna run now
I wanted him to stay
I think I’m gonna run now
Resting in his blood
I think I’m gonna run now
Wishing death, I should
I think I’m gonna run now



just something I kind of put together.....

This was a cool piece. I liked the hook of the this poem and how you changed it up after every event in the three verses. I really liked the emotion & the last verse was real nice and put everything together. Overall the imagery was good, real nice to see you writing nice work.

Great piece gurl. Must say I missed your work and over time, you have elevated. I liked the hook in this and the imagery was great. Good vocab n structure. I can kind of relate to it in a twisted way. I think it would make a great song. Keep up gurl.
