Your silhouette was ignited by
the flash from the headlights.
Here on the road away from
busy streets and dizzy delights.
Indulged by the chill kisses
from the distant wind above us.
We sat here until the frost bit our
lips and time became dangerous.
We watched the world as
people continued to live and die.
Here on the crowded highway,
where strangers passed us by.
Frozen in time we saw them smile
and we also saw them cry.
Wrapped away from the present,
we were trapped, you and I.
You gave your heart to me,
said it was mine for eternity.
I had nothing to give to you
besides blankets of serenity.
You are stuck on my mind 24/7,
like an indelibly tattoo.
I might go mad since it feels
like the only sane thing to do.
