another
Took a drive, last night
Get my mind off on
Dark green honda pain killers
Swallowed down, gulping saliva
Wheel turned without thought
Left here past shiny plastic
Shutters and sandbox creatures
Remnants of a time when
Eyes were blind
And everything lasted forever
Round every bend is your face
Memories rich and livid
Golden blond and vanilla cream
Arms entwined like puzzle pieces
Why blink when eyes don’t see
What’s really there
A tear slips past,
Paints a line down my face
Slow at first, as if sadness is timid
Quickly though, he finds courage
For countless minutes, control is flown
While I taste salty wetness
Wipe away stinging reminders
Of what might have been
