drive

the drive was long
we'd had enough
of love
of life
of broken hearts
as headlights broke
silently through the fog

the journey started
a happy tale
of love
of life
of happy hearts
drifting through
the open road

the wheel was straight
motives true
of love
of life
of beating hearts
the lines now guided
the tire's treads

but the air grew dark
the fragrance stunk
of love
of life
of undead hearts
the solid beat of life
was gone now lost

our voices loud
a fleeting sound
of love
of life
of enraged hearts
tales of infidelity
taking the wheel

your tear stained face
my bloodshot eyes
of love
of live
of unmended hearts
the road, now silent
wanted to stop

the radio loud
we've given up
on love
on life
on broken hearts
tales of ever after
still lurking in our mind
