state line

she leaves the gas station
and floors the gas
ready for anew
to let go of the past.
she passes the state line
as a memory floods in
of a little girl
not yet tainted with sin.
being as good as she could
always doing as she's told
but that was before
she allowed her soul to be sold.
waving goodbye
the little girl walks away.
her mind goes black
as the car starts to sway.
so lost in the chaos
and trapped in the fears.
just wanting to be loved!
not overwhelmed with tears!
please take it away...
make it stop
her eyes flutter closed
when she hears the sirens of a cop.
