Stolen

Woke up this morning

Feeling robbed

Stomach hurts
Head throbs
Eyes are red, swollen
Looking around,

feeling around

for what was stolen

Things were crazy
And felt so good
Afraid to lose that feeling
you made me feel

Like no one could
Away from the world
where people hurt me

You grabbed my hand

said that you would fix me

My heart in your hands
Careful, cautious
yours in mine
Lovely and luscious

Songs fill my head.
Like tears,

Lyrics dripping
the fears,

emotions ripping
Was that it, was that all

coming to terms, gripping

going slower, slipping

Yesterday you called me baby

Today your voice is different, distant

The yes’s turned to maybes

The plans we made, resistant

And still the feelings, persistent

I miss the feel of you

Next to me, strong

And here I am alone

Wondering what went wrong

Downshift 

Music turned up.
Loud.
Windows rolled down
All the way
Heater on high, warming my feet
Nothing but the sound of music surrounds

You make my mind slow down
Downshift
Relax, unwind
Take me back to another time
Back roads fast, curves tight
Hands up in the air feeling life
Standing on cliffs staring into dark night
I almost forgot what it was like
To feel free, light like light
Bouncing off waves, birds in flight
