different roads, different hearts

driving
down the road

concave
in posture
from the pain

not knowing
where to go

not knowing
what's ahead

just driving away
from her
and what was so
certain

just moments before

were the words
planned?

did she know
from the beginning
that forever
wasn't there?

or
did she realize
as she filled in
the blanks
of his heart

that she was 
coming up empty 
in her soul?

learning
to let go

beginning to see
that what you were
leaning to be

just wasn't there
anymore

what's in store
for the driver?

what's on its way
for the one who stays?

who gives away
their heart
without a clue?

eyes of blue
cloudy with rain

let the insanities
be few
for the one
who seeks the
sun

and the one
who dreams
with the mermaids
