once again, reality
took a back seat
on the ride
that had passengers
screaming
into the night
to go right...

RIGHT

as you took another left
blinded by unique sight
as your forehead pressed
against my breast
the tears of your fears
left a trail of destruction
across the only path left
to you, or me

don't cry my fragile one

the empty hours that you face
as the darkness closes in
while your head aches
are colorless to your soul
because you hide
under the sheet, you retreat
then you fold

Stay with me,
the one who colors your world
don't weep for a memory
of a life that wants answers
cry if you must
but only if you know
that as a beautiful flower
you are sure your petals
will never unfurl

You sit behind the drivers wheel
and stare straight at the bend
only to accelerate towards
the end point
wondering when the straight
will come to the end

tears fall to the pillow
under which lays
your heavy heart
tears fall down
upon my cheeks
wondering when
we will part

When will you drive away
without a backward glance
never knowing I'm sitting
beside you in the back seat
looking out the back window
witnessing the destruction
left behind...
