Freeways

There's nothing that gives more of a feeling of emptiness
than a drive away from the one you love,
red lights in front and gold lights in back,
the music is high,
but that can't stop thoughts,
you want to be able to go on,
you want to escape how it feels to be alone,
but all you can do is push the gas harder,

until the wheels may lift,
until the tons of weight is weightless
until your love is echoed in the clouds.

Until you are in her heart.

Until you are home.
