Taxi Ride
Street lights passing n a blur.
I cannot focus.
I hear nothing.
I’m not listening to you-
I don’t want to small talk.
Let me loose myself in my mind,
Recounting those minutes-
Or was it hours?
Days?
I can smell him still, he lingers on my skin, in my hair-
on my lips.
Don’t want to get there yet-
Slow down.
When I am there it is over
When I get there
I have to pretend that it never happened.
Slow down and let me linger some more,
let me soak it all in.
let me etch it in my mind.
Slow down and let me wrap myself around it
And hold onto it for dear life…
