ride

(or die)

By Sara Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

120 isn’t fast enough

to burn the way you made me smile

under my tires.

if i close my eyes

it will be darker

than the still night.

the engine was cold

when i started it

like my apathy.

my heart will sputter

so i can leave you

in my rear view.

i will never stop

looking over my shoulder.

the lights in the city

will flash.

it will rain

and my eyes will fill

with water like the sky

and the cars behind me

will honk.

home is somewhere i can never go

again.
