Tears of Midnight
Tires beating back the pavement
As I push on through the silent night
Headlights stabbing through darkness
Seems to think that I’m all right
Radio voices mumbling lyrics
I just can’t seem to hear them clear
It’s midnight and it’s a lonely night
Somewhere I lost the will to care
Gas gauge reading red line
I know my wallets red lined too
I pull to the side of the highway
Knowing I must go home to you
I wipe away the tears of midnight
From the eyes you taught so well to weep
Make a u-turn back to your empty arms
Wondering how I fell so deep.
Love your Cuz, Rose XOXOX

so terribly sad...
my heart aches for you...
Next time I will make sure my wallet and bank account is full and the tank of my vehicle to go a very long way until he sobered up till he misses me.....IF EVER!!
Now smile and cheer -Up you have your friends here on AD!!
Love Tinka
I felt the sadness and emptiness in this poem. You've captured the emotion so well. I pray that this isn't your current state of mind but if it is, please know that you have friends that do care. I'll be praying for you.
Take care
Chanti
And i fell deep into your words--you know how to wring emotion so powerfully in verse! Excellent....
