Starlet
I still remember driving
our lights disturbed the high way,
exchanging looks and dancing off the road.
Rose petals
strewn about like broken glass
on a freeway where
a passer-by enjoys a snowy day
I'm screaming
You're dancing in the rearview
The engine's burning
and angels come to life through
indents in the snow
I'm giving life to
the wasted nights that breathe
While holding on to
the winter night, it's beaten me
People make good wood for fires
but we're too hot to burn
Hit the brakes, I cried
This could be a dream
if I just closed my eyes
-
My face is numb
Your cheeks are cold
Children watch the crash unfold
Before their eyes, breaths become
spirits in the cold
Stumbling out I trip and fall
And watch you lie like a porcelain doll
Shivering and Shivering
You've gone away, You've gone away
This could be too much for me
your body stopped but your heart
kept driving
across the land, your never felt
it go
-
It's not in the words you told me
It's all in the way you looked at me.
