I turned left
at: 'Uh oh...big mistake! '
Kept going straight
past: 'I wish this was a dream & I could wake! '

Went 'round in circles
until I found myself: l o s t.
Hung a right
at: 'Nothing left! '

Took a shortcut
only to end up at: 'Wot de f***! '
Pressed on
past insanity

until I reached the madness
of losing you.
Finally I had arrived

at where
I didn't want to be!
