Clear View<br />
Wind in my hair.<br />
Windows rolled down.<br />
Music blaring, not caring, I’m still leaving.<br />
Leaving this town.<br />
Rearview mirror, smooth glass, no smudges, no cracks,<br />
just a doorway to the past,<br />
Holding in so much pain in the rectangular reflection.<br />
<strong>The</strong> past, what was is no more, the boy, the town, the love.<br />
I left him standing there without a glance back, he didn’t<br />
see it coming.<br />
He just stared ahead as the cloud of smoke disappeared<br />
into the shadows.<br />
<strong>The</strong> boy I left behind, the home I burnt down, memories<br />
too hard to face.<br />
My perfect life shattered.<br />
Windshield, not so clear, one crack, a lot of wear and tear,<br />
Uncertainties, beside the bright possibilities,<br />
<strong>The</strong> future, what lies ahead on this road?<br />
I don’t know where I’m going but somehow I keep the<br />
wheels rolling.<br />
