Cynosure
It's a Thursday night
time for me to go -
to drop my pen and
to leave what I have written
at school
and hit the road to home.
So I pack up my bags and walk to my car
Tonight I will travel under the stars.
I pass the swaying palm trees
crossing the beauty of Miami
through the city and over the sea...
but I have taken this drive
circa a million and five times
so when my eyes glaze over
fatigue overtakes the land's cynosure
and a blind chauffeur
becomes of me.
So I'm on autopilot
all the way there
and despite the blinding traffic lights
nothing breaks my solemn stare.
On that short yet long drive home
the music plays but I don't hear the tune
I feel so isolated and alone
all I can think about is you.
Because as I pass over the ocean
on that 12 minute drive through the black
something about the water makes me think
about how much I want you back.
