Scared

We drove till we felt for certain our problems were behind us
There was a world created that night
Between only you and I.
I know now, because I didn’t before,
This was fate we tasted

Later,
When time overwhelms our bodies,
Our friendship,
I will look back to that night.

I beg you to stay,
But staying creates commitment
And commitment is
Lightening
Fear.

The city lights consume your blank face,
Hues of yellow and red make you unearthly.
You’re not mine.
