PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm driving and feeling 

like this car will blow away

trying to pay attention 

to the songs and the road

smoking cigarettes because 

I can multitask.  I'm driving home 

watching the other side of the highway 

hoping I'll see him drive by

sipping a warm flat diet coke 

letting the syrup remind me 

of how much I want a drink

while I listen to other peoples words 

try and ease my disappointment 

and whisper prayers to a God 

I'm not sure is there

I try to tell myself 

that time is of the essence 

and time heals all wounds 

and after time I'll be better 

but I can't stop watching 

the other side of the highway 

I know if I drive like this I'll crash 

but when all I've got is time 

and all I'm wasting is time 

and time is so fast 

and so slow at the same time

I just need to finish this drink

Light up another smoke

and stop on the way

to go buy a watch
