Road Closed
this fire burns
on the
inside,
this one didn't
make the
ride
that night
I'd sent her
a text,
my heart was
ripped out
of my chest
no response,
I heard the
next morning
this is the fire
that's suffocating,
tomorrow
is never
guaranteed
I will never forget
who you are
to me
feelings of every kind,
blessed and
coy
stepping with peace,
company to always
enjoy
thoughts racing
on my mind
not another
friendship
like you and I
you're rare, the
only one of
our kind
smoke fumes
stuck inside
my lungs
wrapped my arms
to feel like
our hugs
trying not to let
the memory
fade
how we were together,
how I wish you
stayed
