Breakfast Alone On The Beach

my eyes wander through the street
looking for something we both know
is not there

i want to absorb the last
years of this pain
and
take you far
from here

i want us to drive
faster

your veins sing
songs for our
medicine
though your soul
will always feel
the pain

when i wrap my arms
around you to lift
you
i feel our souls
touch
and i feel you leave
this life

i want us to
drive faster

tonight
i am going to walk
around the city
by myself for a while

i won't ever
forget about
you

Sometimes I wish I could learn to drive slower.

A poem finally.

Any one thing, best about this verse.

this passage spoke to the part of me that knows there are times we just can't be fast enough. the part of me that has had to let go. walk away. and remember.

always remember.
