Love is a traffic light

In the dead of night.

In passing or cessation,

Drifting by through awaiting time.

The virescent beat, a fading sight-

A sharp breath in, caught by warning amber

It captures those in a moment

Time uncaring, an anticipating line

It paralyzes you, before the burning vermillion knight.

The fleeting antedate is continuous,

The passing dread and relief is fitful.

But love is all the same influence,

It grows, it slows, it stops, repeats

Love is a traffic light.
