The place I once called home

In collaboration with the amazing poet, Ron!

I Get in the car and get away

As fast as I can

From the shadows of you 

In the rear view of my mind

From the ghosts that haunt my bed at night.

You're everywhere

Memories... Skeletons of us 

Scattered all over this town

I smell your scent and feel your touch that,

Like the winds of time, are long past gone...

I pick up pace,

Keep my eyes on the road

Not the empty passenger seat,

Not the lonely gaps between my fingers

Where yours used to be...

Will I find peace in these empty roads?

Or will I find someone else I can call my home?

Author's Note

This is my first collaborative piece and it was great to be able to write with such a talented poet. Thanks Ron! :)
