*short disclaimer- This piece as well as the next two to come, To Be Dead and Alive are kind of meant to be a trilogy of poems. They, in no way reflect how I’m actually feeling. They were written for creative purposes to challenge myself. 🙂 I hope you enjoy this piece and the others to come.

I’m stuck on this road.
Was it fast or too slow?
I can’t find my car.
I can’t see you, anymore.

One hit.
One and done.
It was just this one time.

I heard that song.
On a long drive home,
I put the windows down.
I sang into the wind.
There were deer.
There were ghosts.
There was you, too.

The moon couldn’t be any less menacing, shining serenely behind a wave of towering pines.
I didn’t have the time to react.

One hit.
One and done.
Did you feel the biting metal?
Did you feel a thing?

I can’t see you.
I can’t find my car.

I’m stuck on this road and you’re nowhere to be found.

    This piece is so dark and beautiful, the confusion and sadness of those repeated lines is haunting:

    “I can’t find my car.
    I can’t see you, anymore.”

    This is an excellent piece of writing Brittny, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy!
