- cars and telephones -

A Poem by peyton

I read the pages about me

In her autobiography

They were brief and to the point

A flash while you are getting dressed

A memory that needs to be repressed

I'll just wait until it's over

Since you've gone away

I never know just what to say

Since you've gone away

I never know just what to say

Because I like cars more than telephones

Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone

Tonight I'm going to drive

The silver moon is shining bright

Over the interstate

God saying, "Hurry, don't be late"

Soon the sun will rise

That's when the romance dies

And I'm just tired of running around

I walked

To get the mail today

I guess

Your letter never came

I'll just

Check again tomorrow

A flash while you are getting dressed

Memory that needs to be repressed

I'll just wait without saying a word

But f**k it, I love you no less

I'm going to feel like s**t

By the time I get to you

Now the sky is turning blue

The stars, they disappear

One by one with daylight, dear

And yes, you're in my head

But that doesn't make you here

And I've lost all my friends

But you're the one I miss the most

And now I'm almost there

Yeah, I'm almost to the coast

And if I had any notion

Of how to drive my car across the Atlantic Ocean

I'd be f*****g set

#NEWFAVORITEPOEM oh my, LRDs suck so bad and you've just created this beautiful, lyrical and ever so brilliant piece of writing. The last three lines were just the deliciously perfect cherry on top. Why has this not been put to music and in the charts already!? Inspired Peyton. Amazing. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Zillion points out of a hundred my friend!
