locked mind sees
only the highway
foggy beams killed
darkness meanders malaise
double standards regulate
pancakes and aching fingers
sweetness disguised
love huddles all around me
pain in his eyes
driver sparks unrest
head in his hands
broken kisses on my lips
forgiveness lands
in strangulation
vocal chords destroyed
fractured ribs and
butchered engine
heart being toyed
misaffection reflects
disappointment
stepping beyond a
boundary too far
realising dreams
are like snowflakes
fleeting and scarred
melting into droplets
as tiny as a tear
lost in the ocean
stranded here
