Chasing Cars

I'm calm and collected--
Among rattled bones
I dabble in empathy
But, my words have lost their lust for me

I try to flee from my demons--
But, they follow in rapid pursuit
Thus, I know not Aspiration nor Her fleeting memory
I left Her in the dust

I am the lukewarm ghost of passed desire
Of ten trillion unspoken words
I chase parked cars in the midnight moon
Yet, forget in the morning of what I've done...
