A Pause

Looks like we're headed down a steep decline

The peak of the hill holds memories of wild happy days

It's good to remember them, somehow

Even though our paths no longer entwine.


Words can't repair a disconnect so deep

When you don't hear me at all

As we drive past the greenery

All I can do is fall asleep.


You made my fire burn brighter just a few winters back

Cold ashes remain, the same colour as snow

The chill in the air embraces my numbness

While life pirouettes gracefully off track.


The ebb and flow of music in the car

Leaves me with a wry smile as I drift in and out of a daze

The road stretches ahead long and lonely

The end obscured and too far.
