Backseat Joy

Poem & Art by Nikki Juhlin

A love so strong it could burn.

I’m reminded of the night

A memory so broken it cannot overturn.

Love at no cost, no cause for concern.

I saw you dancing at the show tonight

A love so strong it could burn.

Did it hurt? When I kicked you to the curb?

I stood in the back, I think we both know why

A memory so broken it cannot overturn

Now I’m all alone, I guess i’ll never learn

And I lied,

A love so strong it could burn.

I wish I would’ve kept my word,

When I took you on a drive

A memory so broken it cannot overturn.

I said there’s no cause for concern

Cause all I wanna do is turn back time 

A love so strong it could burn 

A memory so broken it cannot overturn.
