Side Streets
Is it bad to think about you
when I see the white lines in the road?
But also the yellow,
and in the crosswalk,
separating the road
from the side streets.
Separating what was from what’s now.
The sky can't see what we can see.
We made it ourselves,
and only for us.
The birds won’t see the lines
We’ve made between you and me
And us and them
There are white lines
And yellow lines
And crosswalks
Between us and the world when I’m with you
When I’m with you
There’s miles between us
And whoever is banging at the door
Trying to get in
And whoever is banging at the door
Trying to get in
Will never stop me from wondering
If it’s bad that I think about you
When I see the white lines in the road

I don't often use this type of metaphor in poetry and I wanted to try something out using my new emotions towards someone.
