broken circle
i thought of turning back
watching her form in the rear view mirror
as i drove away
slowly fading in tears and rain
the road ahead dark, ominous, undetermined
a road taken for reasons yet to be answered
she said she loved me when we parted
her arms enveloped me
a kiss and a tear on my cheek
our promise to keep in touch
then feeling the cold damp air
replacing her embrace as i left
days and nights of loving only her
seem like someone else's dream now
winding through the countryside
shadowy figures appear beside me
through the glare in the windshield
from an occasional passing car
hearing an eerie beckoning from the wind~
words that were never spoken or heard?
choices made have come to fruition
but in this love story there would be none
and the farther i drove away from her
the closer i drive to a conclusion~
broken circle...
