Hoping Maybe I'll Forget

The road slides away

Beneath speeding wheels

A blur of grey

 

The windows wide open

The music turned up

Loud enough to drown in

 

Loud enough to drown out

Your angry words

In my memory

 

 

The sun beats down

Scorching hot

As I let it warm my cool skin

 

Its spiteful rays a comfort

After the coldness

Of your company

 

But even the music and speed

(Even the heat and the rushing air)

Cannot quite erase you

From my thoughts

 

So I just keep driving

Hoping maybe the distance

Will do the job

 

 

Hoping maybe

I’ll forget
