I want to die
I made mistakes all my life
now all I do is drive
open the window
burns my eye
but all I do is drive
so many cars with bright lights
cannot even see the road at night
all hot and sticky in the summers heat
too many blues not enough reason
I'm old and grey feeling the pain
ice on the window in a winters day
listening to a radio with frozen fingers
another year had just passed by
just want my search to end
so I can
die in her arms tonight
now all I do is drive
open the window
burns my eye
but all I do is drive
so many cars with bright lights
cannot even see the road at night
all hot and sticky in the summers heat
too many blues not enough reason
I'm old and grey feeling the pain
ice on the window in a winters day
listening to a radio with frozen fingers
another year had just passed by
just want my search to end
so I can
die in her arms tonight

Kick it,
My dearest loving friend, you seem like you are spending too much time on the wheel and less time looking for her? Please take your time to be with her and if you have already found her let her know and deep in your heart show her that you love her so much. I have just found the man that made the biggest impression in my life when it comes to life, love, and all the whole package that come s with it and let me tell you there is not a sufficient word to describe how I feel. I love his so much and I am so thankful for having found this love.
Kick I know you will find her too, and if you do, please grab life by the horn.
Your friend,Phyllis
Wish I could tell you this story, but I can't take care of you. glad you found your happiness, may it reign through the rest of your days. ..

"too many blues not enough reason"
I know what its like to drive for a living and the blues without reason all too well...it comes with the job.
As far as "die in her arms tonight", well, that type of death is something to look forward to.
yes it does come with the job of spending mile after mile behind the wheel. to be able to stop and lay down and die in her arms can only be described in this way to explain the relevence of being alone for this period of time.
Seriously, a poignant write; it's quite universal in nature.
Thanks for sharing
well lets say the outside texture hides it well.
kick..
terrific rhythm awesome expression
may i offer my compliments and congratulations...
Deenie
re-reading this makes it even more poignant
Though quite poignant, I want to die has wonderfully captured intense feelings of longing.
ps.. the third letter is (G)!!!!
