Headlights blink in navy blue,
as I drive down long and winding roads,
Music looping endlessly,
past meadow creeks and yellow toads.
Dawn brings decisions,
the callings of fate and strings pulled taught.
This empty path is coming to a close,
My mind's never felt so fraught,
All our choices come down to,
left or right,
there is no straight ahead so,
out of spite,
despite,
in spite of,
I roll the windows down,
stark white, my fingers gripped
the steering wheel, refusing to turn
Mind made, heart strict.
Racing towards oblivion,
towards a place that I don't know,
I choose left,
the path towards home.
