Not Commiting
January 29, 2015
It’s just me and you
You lonely road
In the dark
And yet, I feel like I’ve come so far.
How could I too, feel just like you?
But don’t you see, you are shielded.
Just like me.
A canopy of trees-
To keep you safe.
My heart, all by itself, is also covered.
My ribs surround it like a hug.
Keeping their guard up-
For who knows what to cause trouble.
Maybe me and you are the same lonely road.
Two misunderstood
Left behind
Symbols of tragedy you see.
But lucky for you I’m starting to leave
Because we don’t like company anyways.

I've never liked commitment, and one night while driving I had this weird feeling when I drive in the dark in the deep forest, it was like I was really all alone besides me and the road, and I still didn't want to be there. It made sense to me that the road is happy being lonely, just like I am, and that sometimes it's the small encounters that keep you happy, and they are worth it, not worth feeling guilty for what you lost, but for what you had in that little time.
