Ticket To Nowhere Poem by Jennie Scheihing

There you are again
Another friend
Nothing special
But baby to her
You’re everything
You’re her air
You’re her sky
You’re her heart
You’re that guy
That grabs her soul and won’t let go
Loosen your grip and let her exit
This train is boarding fast-
This wasn’t meant to last
Your eyes are a one-way ticket to falling in love

She can’t let go
As you know
It’s not right
She loves you
You’re everything
You’re her sun
You’re her light
You’re her smile
You’re her life
That’s crashing down and spreading around
That’s breaking apart without her heart
This train is boarding fast-
This wasn’t meant to last
Your eyes are a one-way ticket to falling in love

Oh baby, please turn away
They’re killing her in every way
And she can’t stand that chocolate glance
That hypnotizes her in a trance
That makes her fall for you each day
More and more each and every day
So baby- just turn away

Your eyes are a one-way ticket to
No turning back
Your eyes are a one-way ticket to
One last laugh
Your eyes are a one-way ticket to
So down low
Your eyes are a one-way ticket to
Can’t let go
Oh no no no
Because your eyes are a one-way ticket to falling in love
