Ticket 2 Ride

Leaving, wanting, hearts yearning

You turn me slowly, burning

Bodies pulled inside out

Too ravaged, swallowing a shout

—

I’m to blame, words are lame

Finally, my ego is tame

You used to fly to me

Even beyond the sea

—

Remembering an early time

Words always seemed to rhyme

Two bodies geosynchronous

A gravitational chorus

—

Independent, turning away

Impossible to stay

Circling back evermore

What we are, watch us soar
