Control

just a body exists here now
a heart left out on the road
separated - I tried to save it
or maybe it was trying to save me
though, I still feel its pain
as you drove over it
your car screeching as it slid
you might have dragged
it up over that curb
I think I'll leave it out there
probably nothing left of it now
I wonder, would we still be
on our way...
if control hadn't
come in to play?
