I Drive

Rachel Lime


I drive
On and on through the night
I drive

Miles of darkness
Beyond my headlights
Across the state line
Visions of deer
Smashing themselves across semis
In attempt at flight

Sade, feels like paradise
Writing these words as I drive
Storm blown in
On the wind
Through my mind
I'm yours, you’re

I drive
On and on through the night
I drive

Miles of darkness
Beyond my headlights
Across the state line
Flicker lightning to the north
Sickle moon behind

Sade, feels like paradise
Thinking of nothing as I drive
Thoughts rushing in
Like smoke
Through my mind
I'm yours, you’re

I drive
On and on thru the night
I drive

I float above the curve
Above the smooth turns
Drunk on blooms of it on the wind

It’s my favorite thing
But I don’t know its name
Something like warm lilacs and rain
