One way ticket

By: Shelbi Henny

It was drained

Right at the main artery

Dangerously treated

As a concubine

And defined into stepping

Forth into madness

Matrimony relating

To substantial exit

Point

Speakers ruptured

To one way

Entrances that lead

To peculiar flights

Loitering opinions

And relying on

A heart that was seeping

And swooning over

Unjustly beginnings

Commuting to mileage

Though I haven’t been anywhere

We’ve traveled to distances

I’ve never known

To lead me one way

Keep me one way
