Midnight Drive

Synthwave Intensifies

It was quiet
No cars swift past me this midnight
The stars and the lights were therapeutic
Neon flashed my crimson red face
Reflecting my skin through the windows

This Midnight was unlike any other
a shootout that defined fates
a brother gone in exchange for another that was more

Its aura circled throughout like a disease incurable
It pierced my heart so deep the car felt sluggish from the weight it carried

Although I am filled with spite and disgust
The deed is done
I must live with my actions

Would the almighty forgive me for my sin?

Only time will tell

I’ll drive as far as I can with the love of my life
We’ll start anew free from our shadows
Live a life worthy of God himself
Whatever that even means for 2 men who found love in a haystack

But I have faith we’ll be gone of this
To leave the past behind us 90 miles per hour
For now I must drive
Just as long as were safe we’ll be fine

Asphalt will soon turn to soil and the lamps will soon turn to trees and the skyscrapers will turn to mountains

The life he and I dreamt since the day we both learned to drive

I don’t know who might be reading this but if you do

Live life the best you can and make the right decisions
And if it comes down coerced doings
I pray you have the strength to pick yourself back up

Best of luck to anyone out there
